What about the Devry Institute of Technology? And Joe Scaramuccibambino’s plumbing apprenticeships? He promised to “hook me up wit da boss”.
I attended DeVry Institute in Chicago in the early ‘70s. The in-resident school was an excellent technical school. I had already been thru the USAF radar maintenance school and DeVry was like an advanced course on what I’d already learned. I learned a lot more about design and function than what the USAF schools taught.
The problems with DeVry began when Bell & Howell bought the school and started the home study classes. Their marketing staff signed up a lot of people who never should have been in a technical field class. Bell & Howell was after numbers and money instead of teaching people skills.
Does that sound like a lot of universities today, with the useless degree programs they offer?
