[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of our summer neighbor's DC went to Endicott, although they live in MA so it was local for them.  It seemed to be a good experience. The DC isn't that academically inclined, but [u]Endicott seems to have good vocational paths[/u]. The DC is now working in a job related to her major so that's a good sign.[/quote]

W[b]hy would you send your kid to a college/university for a vocation? [/b] That doesn't make sense.

OP's kids sounds more academically inclined.[/quote]

Sorry if that wasn't clear. It was a neighbors kid, not my kids.

The neighbors kid majored in graphic design. But Endicott also has programs in exercise science, event management, hospitality management, coaching certification, early childhood education, athletic training, along with more traditional subjects. I don't see anything wrong with that - not everyone wants to go to grad school.[/quote]

I meant the general "you", perhaps I should have said why would one go to a ....

Then one should go to a vocational or technical school.  The American system of going to university for something like event management (wth?) is absurd and just creates tiers and strata of universities while watering down a bachelor's degree in general.  There is nothing wrong with having a vocation, but it should be different than having a bachelor of science in mathematics, for pete's sake.[/quote]
