Useless, Expensive College Degrees


Some people look down on vocational school. A degree from a four-year college is considered first class. A vocational-school degree is not. That should be a prejudice to overcome because that is what many students would be better off with.

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 to get a degree that does not enable you to find a viable job.

It is worse when that a career puts you in extreme debt.(See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole tweets.)
