True, and colleges have generally replaced employer-provided job training. Of course, they’ve done such a horrible job that we are seeing a return to traditional apprenticeship programs and industry-sponsored credentialing programs.
I am still playing both sides of the fence though, I just got accepted into a University to finish up my AS for information tech online and if I feel up to it maybe a BA in something, for I did start college a while ago, might as well finish it, but I have the old school way of thinking, somethings college cannot teach, you have to learn in the field, though it is painful sometime.
