[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there has to be other pathways for success. No need for amassing degrees that you will not use. College education should be for specific career paths and teaching should be amongst the highest paid profession and should take the academically strongest students. [/quote] 
That’s why the US needs to look at the German or Finnish schooling systems. 
The US needs good quality technical schools where students learn in demand trades with guaranteed job  placement.

There are quite a few 4 year colleges that are specialized in demanding fields. I think the word "trade" throws people off, should find a 21st century replacement. DS is applying soon as we watch the acceptance rate drop below 40% with a 5 year plan to expand/build/renovate extensively. It's known for having one of the countries highest job placement and salaries. Students report that recruiters practically drop offers in their laps. Perfect location doesn't hurt.

Executive Director Career Center at this particular school reports:

[i]I am pleased to report the Class of 2018 achieved an outstanding record 
of success, with 96% having secured highly competitive employment 
opportunities and admission to prestigious graduate programs within six 
months post-graduation. The women of the Class were highly recruited 
and 97% reported securing their first destinations within the six-month 
post-graduation time-frame. The overall salary average for the Class of 
2018 is $71,400[/i].
