I wouldn’t be surprised if community colleges and trade schools make a comeback (if not already). Both teach specific skills (plumbing, computer software, IT, carpendry, accounting, nursing, etc.,) that businesses need.

I just finished a course at our local community college. It was very well taught by experienced business owners. I’ve had plenty of theoretical coursework over the years; this was very pragmatic and of high quality.

I’m teaching pre-nursing Organic chemistry and Biochemistry at a CC. Three sections with standing room only.

What does he need a stupid college degree for?


In the office enviroment, one should have a good education foundation. Discussions around the water cooler in the office are important and your child should be able to hold his own there and at the copy machine.
