Speak for yourself. Almost everyone I knew in high school (typical upper-middle-class kids) in the first part of the '00s when I was there was forced to go to college. Their parents had groomed them from an early age for college, and no other options were on the table.

In the same vein in which they aren't forced to go to college, they could get up and leave the country if they wanted to, or go get a sex change, or hang themselves in the closet. Certainly they are physically capable of doing such things, but they aren't exactly likely, either.
