I read that as "stem & liberal arts" as one stream and "vocational/trade schools" as the second stream.

- bluGill 5y agoWe don't need more trade schools though. Over here on hacker news many of us have day jobs eliminating those jobs. While we won't succeed (and trades are still a better job than many artistic degrees) there are a lot of kids going into them. Most trades are also taught on the job. Want to be a carpenter - you can start tomorrow morning at 7am in any large city. From there you can branch out if you want.
- jimbokun 5y agoThe majority of programming jobs, DevOps jobs, etc. could be learned in a trade school. Only a minority of programming jobs really require a four year CS degree. Also, is that true that most trades can be learned on the job without prior training? I thought you needed a decent amount of training to be a plumber, electrician, etc.
