Why Waste Fortunes on Useless Degrees?

Some people look down on vocational schools. A degree from a four-year college is considered first class. A vocational-school degree is not. That should be a prejudice we must overcome. Because maybe that is what many students would be better off at.

Those who have employable skills will earn top dollar at jobs that employers want, even in deep recessions. Others, with their fancy-school diplomas sit around depressed for the lack of opportunity, despite all their effort toward those impressive but impractical and useless degrees. It’s rough spending a fortune to get through college, only get a degree that does not enable you to find a viable job.

It is worse when that career puts you in extreme debt.
