A trade school came in when I was in highschool in 1999 to speak to our Freshman class. The remainder of school was spent brainwashing everyone that if you didn't get a college degree you weee gauranteed to be a failure.
I know what you mean. When I was going through school every time trade school came up, not that it came up often at all, it was always framed as being something that only losers and unskilled stupid people did because they couldn't make it in "real college". Super frustrating looking back on it, because the truth is the exact opposite. Trade schools are where you go to learn practical skills that have real world value, and the vast majority of people that get a trade skill go on to get an extremely good paying job with good benefits, and student debt is incredibly small by comparison to college. Master Electricians for example make ridiculous paychecks.
