Colleges are filled with people who have no idea what they want to do with their lives; yet, there are young people who want to work on cars, be electricians, etc., and they do not get the vocational help they need. Vocational High Schools have, for the most part, gone the way of black & white movies. There is a real need for these schools to exist, and teach future generations trades and skills that are, and will continue to be, needed. We have enough young people graduating with useless degrees. Yes, they spent 4 or 5 years to get them, but most have no marketable skills. They also think that starting salaries are $40,000 - $50,000 per year and are shocked to learn differently. Yes, some kids graduate with good jobs waiting for them. Most graduate with loan payments waiting for them.
