# Charles Murray attacks education myths. 

One message is delivered relentlessly in American education: Everyone should go to college. And then there¹s Charles Murray¹s message: Few people either need, or are able to handle, the rigorous liberal-arts training that college is supposed to provide. But this isn¹t a death sentence for those who are not academically inclined. Opportunities to enter well-paying professions and lead good lives abound for these people, and the sooner that¹s recognized, the sooner everyone can get the education they need.
