She is correct. The sooner we accept that the better.
And there’s nothing freaking wrong with it. They’ll probably make more money than many of the college grads. College is such a scam these days.
AMEN! I just tried to help a student who enrolled as a freshmen. He was essentially computer illiterate and his faculty adviser put him in online college classes. All the classes were four year prep classes and he will never go to a four year college. He will fail out more than likely but from talking with him would probably do great in a trade like HVAC or auto mechanic classes.
Common sense in determining the course of action in post-High
school education would go a long way.
Back in ‘pre-historic’ times when I was in university, I knew that I wanted a career in a science-oriented profession. So, at that time, just before women began entering medical school, I opted for a 4-year degree in Medical Technology. So I got my Bachelors degree in immediately was hired to work in a hospital medical lab.
Today’s students can achieve similar success with common sense. Instead many of them think that they want to study only courses which they ‘like’. That is why silly degrees began to be offered for these ‘lazy and spoiled’ HS kids.
I can only applaud at the changes which are slowly being recognized and implemented in our technical colleges. Now if only the high schools would admit their errors and reinstate shop classes for their students.
