There is no way to determine the "best chance."
Too many variables.
No concrete way to say that Johnny at vocational school learning electrical is going to have a greater or lesser chance than Steve at university learning literature to find employment, start a business or earn more money over a lifetime.
If we focus on one narrow demographic maybe a "better chance" determination could be made but for real world applications there is no way to know.

I am the same person I was the day I graduated high school; a libertarian, an atheist, a lover of friends and family, a believer in peace, an admirer of poetry and art, an ardent reader, an aspiring writer, a follower of history, and an adherer to science, among others.

I love Heinlein, and I think it is a great quote. You using that quote out of context is offensive.

By going to college, I am not "specializing" in anything. In fact, I am doing the opposite.
