[quote=Anonymous]From my (albeit not academic but personal) reading on the topic we have an education crisis primarily at the trades level. Which is insane. I'd much rather my child go to a trade school where he/she can make a good living (my uncles are plumbers, I have multiple degrees and work in nonprofit management- can you guess which has a paid off home and padded retirement accounts?), as opposed to going to a 3rd tier or worse crappy college because you "have to" have a BA/BS as minimum qualifications for success. Some people have strengths that lie outside the traditional schooling path and I think we've swung too far away from that. Do I think that access to college should no longer be limited to the affluent? Of course, but I also think its unrealistic to say everyone should be doing the same thing and expect the same levels of success with different strengths.[/quote]
