I wish this meant less indoctrination, but it doesn’t.
Trade schools are just as loaded up as any other. Most people don’t realize that the majority of leftist indoctrination isn’t in classes with the names you’d expect, such as intersectionality or gender studies, etc.
Most indoctrination is in English classes, world history, and even math.
This is something Kari Lake, in her campaign for governor of Arizona, is constantly championing. Not everyone needs to go to college and there are plenty of good, high-paying jobs out there waiting for skilled workers to fill them.
Got a philosophy degree in 1981, managed to get into a technical field and did well, now retired. Today Iād go for a trade no question. I shudder to think what a philosophy degree entails these days. Two of my professors were WWII vets, they had no illusions about the world.
What...and no English 101...
You means that a "for-profit" trade school, like the ones that the DOE under Obama tried to close down, cost the same (or less) than a "non-profit" liberal arts college with billions in endowments?
Learn a trade, get a job and get on with life.
Glad to hear it.......we need qualified tradesmen. They’re part of the backbone of America
This is a good thing. One of the few really good things Rubio said during his presidential campaign was “America needs more welders and less philosophers.” Fewer, Marco, fewer — not less — but he’s right.
get cdl and work in oil field- some pretty good money if you can land a job there- shouldn’t be too hard- they are always looking for drivers-
This has been happening for some time. A friend’s son (20) said there is a huge waiting line for electrician apprenticeship spots. Americans with sense got the memo several years ago.
Men are only 40% of US college students now, and falling. And men are only 30% of UK college students, and falling. This is not good news—this means only women soon will be physicians and scientists and attorneys, etc. Is this what we want? I don’t (and I’m a woman). It’s immensely destabilizing to society in ways we haven’t imagined yet. But perhaps we will all adjust.
Over time the degree is well worth the investment. By the time I retired I earned more than 12 times what I started with coming out of college.
Big mistake.
There will be out of work people and oversaturated fields if this isn’t controlled the way Dr’s and nursing numbers are controlled. There are so many fields to get into so that that the standards will not end up dropping pay to minimum wage.
Trump has a special place in his heart for those who work with their hands. There’s an obvious reason for that. In the trades you build/fix things, you do substantive work rather than being just a BS artist with nothing more than a flapping tongue. Go listen to the brilliant Kanye lay it all on the line in the Tucker’s interview with him as to why he was immediately attracted to DJT. My view is that leaders are doers and they can immediately recognize that quality in others.
Learning an actual trade where you get a job or go to school for 6 to 8 years and get a liberal arts doctorate degree in ass hair weaving.
Liberals would take the second option.
Saving, to read later.

We are still left with a lot “untrainable” dummies.
They need express courses on how to use a broom. How to clean a bath room. For the smarter dummies ..train then semi skills..like how to use a hand truck or a hammer.
Bring back work fare!
If you are on the dole ..you do not get to sit on your can all day. You must work 20-30 hrs a week or attend dum dum training.
I was over on Facebook(one of the few times I am not in FB jail) arguing about trannies. I clicked on her photo and up came her work history.
After years of taking “Women’s Studies” at a University, she was working as a finger nail polisher.
Me? I worked in the hard knocks of a steel shop, took welding courses at the local trade school and after 31 years in a power plant retired.
I have 2 technical college degrees. Both programs required 2 humanities classes. Thankfully that was back in the late 70’s and again the late 80’s.
When I finally went back to school in 2000 and got my BS in Civil Engineering in 2002, I only had 1 class (freshman level Lit that I took during my last semester as a SR.) that had an uber-Lib teacher. By then I was 42, and needless to say I challenged her every chance I could.
