2 years at a Community College in a civil engineering technical program: Approximately $6000

Expected wage/salary: $35k/yr.

Expected salary after proving myself valuable to an employer and obtaining my P.L.S.: Range of $50k-$85k/yr.

The problem with college is that it concentrates on teaching nearly irrelevant subjects so that stupid leftists who did not want to become useful to others could have jobs teaching garbage like 'social sciences' or 'ethnic studies'. It would seem to be the opposite of a free market...JFK

Exactly. It's an awful lie commonly told by liberals that getting some sort of bachelor's degree will guarantee success and happiness. They say this to encourage more students to go to college. That' more money in the form of tuition and state funding for them to use for their pet liberal projects.
