Message: [QUOTE="huskeynut, post: 4062591, member: 750"] BINGO!!!!!!!!!! I taught for 33 years in CT. While I was doing a high school gig, I constantly heard the "you must go to college" and trade schools "are for losers" from guidance counselors. The shop classes were being phased out because they were no longer viable. I said it then and I will say it now - college is not for everyone. There are those students who succeed by working with their hands. There are also students who are not ready for college after high school. Our oldest son is/was one of those. He tried college for a couple of years and left and got a job. Working a few jobs led him to his career. He went into to retail/ customer service. Long story made short - he did get his college degree when he saw the value in it - business management. He is now a successful sales manager for a Subaru dealership. [/QUOTE]
