That is a definite bonus!
It’s also the reason why the meritocracy/university cabal has been fighting tooth and nail to eliminate “technical” schools and trade union apprenticeship programs, and the use of student loans for trade schools.
This is what buried ITT tech, and screwed over their students.
A lot of curricula in colleges could be taught in vocational or trade schools. Nursing, IT, allied health, clerical, accounting. The training you need will vary, and the time it takes will vary, but you don’t need a bachelors degree to be good at these things.
