They're finally catching on.
They're finally catching on.
My daughter’s best friend went to a pricey, private college. After one semester she decided it wasn’t for her. She decided to drop out and enroll in tech school instead. She became a welder.
She is doing extremely well. And as a black female welder she is always in demand.
The public is finally catching on. I work in a community college in a faculty/staff support position and for years have pleaded with anyone who would listen to support the technical side of the college, that it was a far better bang for the buck for our students.
The faculty and administration will throw their arrogant noses and in the air and snort “we are not here to provide workers, we are here to educate and broaden their minds” One technical program after another has been closed, many with full classes yet their enrollment numbers keep dropping. Students are telling them in their surveys before and after, I need a two year or less program where I can graduate without great debt and be employable in my field.
The current governor of our state cut all college and university budgets nearly 5% and is openly telling higher education, you need to produce graduates who can enter the workforce and make a living. And still the faculty/administration thinks their job is to be a feeder school for four year colleges and set about to close down even more technical programs. Arrogant educated fools who would rather cut off their nose despite their faces...
