Is there any need for a "plan"? Ultimately having a default option being college is obviously not working all that well for a lot of the people going down that route (dropout rates are high and finding a job in your field isn't a guarantee).

The "plan" would be to take an honest look at yourself and decide what sort of career makes sense for you. That might mean you go to a trade school, it might mean that you go to college, it might mean something I can't think of right now :)

The worst advice is saying just go to college and it will all work itself out.

That employment and wage statistics say that's actually better advice than "don't go to college and it will all work itself out."
