I Teach the Humanities, and I Still Don’t Know What Their Value Is

We had about 10 or less in my night welding classes. I really enjoyed them; I was usually the first one there and the last one to leave. It was a lot of fun. Once I caught myself on fire. No injuries, so you wouldn't be interested.

Not having money for college, and since my one and only Plan A was cancelled by Congress, I continued to live at home, take college full time and work part-time as a clerk in a store. I completed all of this without debt. My dad helped me with a roof over my head, two good meals a day and my auto insurance. Wanting the college experience, I took out a small loan and moved to an out-of-town (90 minutes) small college town (UNC, Greeley, CO) where I continued full-time college, part-time work (same chain) but with a lot more drinking and sex.

QED.

You think you are proving yourself correct to Damo about your complaint, but all you are doing is proving you are the very troll you complain about. IMO, that is an irrational thought. Ergo, you are irrational with some sort of mental condition.

Normal people get angry at times, but normal people don't stay angry all the time. Since you are angry all the time, like the elderly geezer Trumpers, I see you as being a person in pain for reasons beyond your control. Like them, you take it out on others.

They do. That's where my night classes were; a small community college. The point being all we did was work on our skill set of welding. I can't see the A/C classes, automotive or truck driving classes being any different compared to an AA or AS degree from a community college.

Community college is a good bang for the buck, and I feel sorry for anyone who is duped into paying thousands of dollars to some for-profit private vocational school to learn auto mechanics, HVAC, or electrical work.

Agreed about those who were scammed. A major selling point for the school was "we know all the employers and will get you an interview". The problem is that when that interview comes, the employer sees they have little to no hands-on experience and is unlikely to hire them.

I always felt it was a good idea to talk to the students of school one is considering. When I went on graduate school interviews, I always made sure to talk to the grad students to get their perspective.

I wonder how willing these for-profit vocational schools are to let you talk to their students and recent graduates?

Especially after they graduate, saddled with debt and unemployed. :)
