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.
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 ?
