College Prep is that the Key?

The article from Edutopia titled "School Reform: Focusing on College Prep is Key" talks about how the goal of reforming education needs to start with ending poverty as by doing this we need to push and prepare all students for college.  Not all students are going to be successful in college though.  Do we really want to push these students so hard that they feel they have to go to college but then are overwhelmed and drop out?  No, everyone does not have to go to college, as long as they are prepared for a good job with a promising future after graduation they are good.  There are so many jobs out there that do not include a college education, someone needs to fill those jobs, and if they work hard they will get paid well.  I agree something needs to be done about reforming our education system, but I don't think pushing everyone no matter what towards college is a good idea.
