Blog Response: Why Should We Care About Vocational Education? by Mark Phillips, 5/29/12


I have often held a debate with my parents about the value of a college education. My dad thinks it’s overrated. My mom thinks it’s totally worth it. After reading this article, I am definitely a fan of the vocational track. In high school I would have never considered it. The stigmas that Phillips mentions in his article held true to me and my environment. I have to admit that at times I have wondered what my college education has actually afforded me besides debt and relationships. Unless you are getting a college degree for a specific field, how does it help you compete in society? I know people who chose the vocational track and are doing way better financially. If I had to do it over again, I would give it some serious thought.
