[QUOTE="NDwalleyes, post: 375532, member: 218"] IMO it is much larger than this. We need more tech colleges and fewer 4-year colleges like you suggest, but, I think the whole 4-year degree side needs to be reworked. I think if you want to have a professional degree such as accounting, engineering, etc., it should all be internship based and then professional credentialling after say.... 4 years of learning on the job. You don't need 2 years of humanities classes to be an engineer, accountant, etc. Let these larger professional companies do like the trades do, train there own and run off the ones that suck. You want to be a lawyer, go find a firm that will allow you to intern for 5-6 years, same with accounting and engineering. Some areas may be different, like say medicine where you will need some formal schooling prior to an internship. It will also put more emphasis on student performance at the high school level. Never understood why the taxpayers basically fund the training for another company's employees. Besides, very few college students end up working in the field they studied for. Burn the whole system down IMO. [/QUOTE]
