[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you jealous of kids who get As in "regular" classes?  To most colleges, an A is an A.[/quote]

An A isn't an A.  Of course colleges look to see if kids took AP and Honors classes. Do you really think that they are going to accept a kid with straight As taking automechanic and woodwork over a kid with As/Bs in Honors English and physics? You are out of your mind.[/quote]

I don't disagree, but you went overboard.  Do you really think a kid who mostly took Automechanics and Woodworking cares that much about college?  The college track is the most easily definable career path to success, but it's not the only one.

Why are so many millenials pro-Sanders?  Because he wants to erase their student loan debt.  They took on tens of thousands of dollars worth of interest-bearing loans, studying subject which the market does not value.

BTW, a B.A. in English or Art History gets you the opportunity to scoop ice cream as a career.  The (vocational!) skills to clean a refinery pipe will get you over $100K, and being a licensed plumber gets you $300 per hour on the weekends.  You can't outsource that job, and it's about as much as I pay my child's psychiatrist.
