How do you get

A child

To not go to college?

I'd say

That starting in the third

Or fourth grade

To drill it into them

That there's only one option

That they have to go to that college

Specifically

If they ever wanted to get a job

To succeed in life

Not even

An Ivy League college

Or another prestigious place

But the local one

That the state was known for

It didn't even offer

The courses that I wanted

If of course

I wanted to go to college

To get a kid

To hate the idea

Of going to college

You present them only one option

Not just only one college

But they have to go to college

As soon as they graduate high school

To make it seem

There's no job out there

That'll take them

With just a high school diploma

Drill it into them hard

That they have too

That they should even

Try to speedrun highschool

So they can get into that specific

University

As soon as they possibly can

Just as long as they get in

They'll be successful

They won't have to worry

About what major they'll take

Or their plan afterwards

Don't even need to worry about student loans

They got in

They made their elementary

Middle school

And high school teachers

Proud

They'll finally be able to succeed in life

Right?

They got in,

After all
