Maybe I missed that part of the article where it was a direct comparison of welding to a liberal arts degree outside of the politician comparing philosophy to welding. Philosophers make more money than biochemists, FYI. What are your sources about the opposite occurring? If one goes to an instate school s/he can do fairly well with a liberal arts degree.
- readams 7y agoIt's clear he doesn't do well in traditional liberal arts subjects. The question here isn't really liberal arts vs welding. It's that the narrative for a long time had been that college for everyone is a solution. For those students who will do well there, it is a solution. But it's not a good idea for everyone. While it's true welders aren't rich, the question is actually how to provide education resources to allow everyone to see succeed to their ability, without making your parents' wealth the biggest factor. I think it's clear that vocational education is a part of this, and that college for all is not.
- Medicalidiot 7y agoOh, that's a completely different discussion altogether! I agree with you though.
