Do you mean places like WPI or Renseleer or do you mean the local two year techs in everyone's town?
The kids are headed for chefs' and auto mechanics' schools in Phoenix (both three year programs). Parents figure it's a lot more cost effective than 4 years at universities learning political correctness plus the additional 4 years or so required to shake the BS out of their heads afterwards. I don't know about the schools you mention.
