[quote=Anonymous]This is a prime example of why we moved away from our W school. I am from an area with very low college matriculation - it just isn't important in the small town where I grew up, and the town needs lots of tradesmen. I would say about half of my graduating class went to trade school, another 30% went to community college and then transferred into a trade or a 4-year college, and only about 20% went to a 4-year college. Very few went to grad school, and of that, maybe 2-3 doctors, 2-3 lawyers, and then the rest are science-based academics. Of my high school friends who went to trade schools, many took over family businesses - waste management, plumbing, auto mechanic, electrician - and make WAY WAY WAY more money than I do with my UMC professional job in DC. Don't knock the trades. [/quote]
