Depends where but in all you need skills in general to flourish in today’s work environment, hard to get skills if you are on welfare or if you get a degree in women’s/ ethnic studies.

True, and colleges have generally replaced employer-provided job training. Of course, they’ve done such a horrible job that we are seeing a return to traditional apprenticeship programs and industry-sponsored credentialing programs.

I was gonna say.....you can’t put together much wealth from a welfare check or food stamps.

The kids at our vocational HS program finish able to frame houses, complete rough plumbing, wire almost anything, and most of them can do engine and transmission work, as well as intermediate welding.

That's a MUCH brighter future than being a grad student in almost anything after four years of Marxism, drugs, and sex.

The "college is essential" meme is a lie.
