Anything that diverts the High School-to-College pipeline away from Universities is always a good thing.
You don't have to go to a 4-year University just to have a chance (no guarantee) of getting a good paying job & career.
Besides, you can save yourself the hassle of not getting brainwashed by liberals, saddled with student loan debt, and then demanding taxpayers pay off your debt.
The difference is that joke schools like ITT tech, Devry, Uni-of-Phoenix still saddled you with student debt because you could apply for FAFSA, which gives Federal Aid to 'qualified' institutions.
"Qualified" is very loosely defined. 😒
Getting certifications/apprenticeships from reputable companies means putting their names on the line saying "this is exactly the skills we're looking for" when evaluating someone's job application. You're supposed to come out with hands-on experience (that should've been taught in Universities), so you can hit the ground running on Day 1.
No more "can't find qualified graduates" excuses. At least that's the idea...
If I were in charge of higher education at the federal level I'd expand DANTES and/or CLEP so you can get a complete degree by testing out of everything instead of just the lower level classes. Also make the exams taxpayer-funded and proctored in normal public schools so the educational institutions get nothing.
That would give people a way out of the reeducation camps and not enrich rent-seeking educational establishments. Certification, not indoctrination.
Clep and dantes tests are the only reason I have my BA degree. They were (still are?) free to military. I took as many as I could. Only studied for a few of them, never failed one. I probably saved tens of thousands $ and countless hours of drivel from a leftist professor.
Bear in mind, the economy will NEVER be as good as it was pre invasions.
Manufacturing jobs died because the currency was killed and basic costs went through the roof(not to mention onerous regulations added).
Oh... and you do realize college(or rather the higher education bubble) props up the economy...right...?
To quote my previous comment...
College pumps up unemployment numbers because if you are in school you are not counted as unemployed.
If the funding stops, you would see a massive surge in unemployment with further increased work pool for noncollege jobs.
This would hurt Trump's base as a good amount of them have noncollege educated jobs.
In fact, this is probably why he just let the bubble continue(that and he does not want to galvanize millions of students who do not vote)
If you want wages to go down when millions of students stop college and try applying for noncollege jobs...well...I hope you are prepared to see how "good" this economy is.

This should concern us ... there should be no "debt" for progression of the human mind..
What is different between this and the joke schools like iTT tech ?

We should be encouraging people to go to trade schools after high school.
Make Journeymen Great Again!!!
