The amount of time you hear "I dont use anything I learnt in college, its all about experience on the job!" definitely screams "we need to encourage apprenticeship-type learning over college".
- yumraj 7y agoYes, exactly, that's what I had kinda meant that a lot of jobs require more apprenticeship type training, than a formal college. Apprenticeships might also lead to career mobility. Try a job/training, if you don't like it, try something else. In a 4-year college you end up making a commitment where sunk-cost fallacy kinda prevents you from just moving on to something else if things don't work out.
- shados 7y agoYup. College is often an apprenticeship too (just super expensive) anyway, with how common co-op programs are (which are basically just apprenticeships)
