The political right in general views *attending* college and *advocating for* college as two completely different things. *Attending* college is a necessary evil to get ahead, but *advocating for* college is wrong because college promotes leftist ideals.

I’ve lost count of how many conversations I’ve had with parents who espouse vocational training for other people’s children but a four-year degree for their own

Yes, this is a ludicrous way to view the world. Yes, a lot of educated right-wingers know how ludicrous it is and don't care. They viscerally hate higher education, but they still want their kids to be wealthy and successful someday.

Some right-wing parents don't bother--plenty of parents in our local school district are effectively pulling up the economic ladder behind them. They either have degrees and good jobs themselves, or have inherited land and money, but either way, they aggressively push their kids away from college.

But a lot of right-wingers talk a huge game about the evils of college and how much better it would be for everyone to be ideologically pure conservative long-haul truckers, while also pushing their kids to be doctors and lawyers.

Almost sounds like they want their kids to be a ruling class over a poor underclass.

(e.g. majority of the youth in our north atlanta stake—our kids are like the only ones either at or planning to go to college. all their peers are doing vocational things or nothing. it's WILD)
