So true. I love Mike Rowe!
Trade schools are far better than any prestigious university.

...and so the SOLUTION to our higher ed system is there for all to see, if we have the COURAGE to push forward with it.
Community colleges and trade schools are places where people who are serious about acquiring work skills go. Colleges, any more, are playgrounds for getting drunk, high, or brainwashed while majoring in some silly unmarketable field.
The Jews in the West have made outsized intellectual contributions over the years. They have earned at least 80 Nobel Prizes, many in the sciences. There are plenty of others whose work is competitive and keep the Nobel prize winners on their toes. The issue is the education of a substantial portion of the Western intellectual elite.
This is not possible in the West under current conditions where our governments have decided to commit political self destruction. This latter is based on ignorance of the history of the Middle East. Other countries have learned about the imperialism from the Middle East at much cost in blood and treasure.
There are high quality international level Universities outside the West where students can do their studies or work on their doctorates. The world is changing, and this is no longer the 1930's where it is the West and nothing else. There are the IIT's (Indian Institutes of Technology) in India, the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil, and numerous institutions elsewhere. If Obama's and Biden's minions cannot behave themselves, it might be reasonable to look around for top flight education.
Mike Rowe is right.
Well, this doesn’t quite get to the *reason* why you don’t see protests at cc’s or trade schools.
At a traditional 4 year college you can form student groups and apply for funding from the school for various activities. That doesn’t exist at all at trade schools, and only in an abbreviated fashion at cc’s. Community colleges just don’t have the budgets to disburse free cash to student groups.
So the Muslim Brotherhood targets traditional 4-year schools for their organizing.
I like Rowe, but he’s wrong about the reason.
Universities and community colleges use the same professors.
The students are the difference. CC students don’t go to CC for fun. They’re hoping for good jobs. The same with trade school students.
.
Also community colleges students are different. Some of the students are older, so they know about life. Some of them are still at their parents, as they are trying to get a grip on what college is. I did two years in Community College, loved the experience. Lived at home, worked and went to school.
We have two “Voc-Tech” schools nearby. They are “all business, all the time”. My neice-in-law took cullinary arts there and went right from school to be sous-chef at a lovely restaurant. Now she’s executive chef. My grandnephew is trying hard to get into it for plumbing. They have a hair salon and restaurant onsite to train the kids, and they nearly ALL get good jobs upon graduating. Just sayin’.
