I went to a major state university (in the ACC conference) where I learned to look down my nose at kids who either skipped college for work, joined the military, or went to community college. I had a bit of a rude awakening when I graduated after six years with a double-degree and discovered that the grads from the local technical school were getting all the jobs in my field (graphic design). They were trained on graphics software that my school didn’t even have. I, however, had in-depth knowledge of art theory, socialism, “sustainability,” and keg stands. Cutting-edge computer graphics software skills? Yeah, not so much.

I understand. One of my oldest friends (40+ years) teaches Machine Shop at a public school.
According to him the other teachers refer to the kids that take any of the Vocational training classes as “Losers”. My friend stays in a constant Mad-On over this.
