For instance, after high school, many people can't afford to go to a uni so they take a few years off from school, and go to work. From there, people can enroll in a community college and transfer over to a uni. It could be financial problem, family problems, they could be burned out after high school, so it's not always that people are not as smart.
When I made that list, I meant it to be an either/and/or thing, meaning that it's not that everyone who doesnt go into University isnt smart enough to get in, but rather that they couldnt pay for it/found a more financially reasonable way, etc.
I dont know how everywhere else works, but in my social circles (both mine and my parents), kids who're in University are given higher regard compared to those that are/in college, to the extent that I know some people who have to put up with constant lectures about not being in University.
I dont know how it works in other places (and it probably doesnt work the same), hence why I said "Where I live", which is the case as people who go to College are considered a "tier" lower than those at University in terms of the quality of education they're getting.
