Not just secondary and college either. A big part of our unemployement problem is not having enough people educated for the right job sectors. We need to make it easier for people to go back and retrain for the jobs that are relevant today.

We also need to adapt the public education system to accpet the fact that not all students wish to go to college. For these students, much of their High School education should be spent on preparing them to enter the work force and take care of themselves.

I feel like I am your "Amen" section on this thread.

Also, we need to tie incentives to people that choose economically relevant educations. For example,

We have a shortage of nurses so we should provide some form of student grants or low interest loans above and beyond whats currently available. Take an incrimental step up.

Same for engineers and doctors. Why not art history majors? Because they do not give a proportional economic benefit. I already have enough people calling me at 6:30 PM to solicit a variety of things. Definitely no labor shortage there.

As for the guys & gals who do not go to college, trade school. We have far too few skilled tradesmen in many job markets.

For once I agree with you. Schools cut so many industrial arts programs and things of that nature because of budgets. College is not for everyone, so it shouldnt be pushed onto everyone. I remember in HS the pressure from guidance counselors to enter the college prep classes because that was the future. Cant get a job without college anymore. I went back to my hometown not to long ago, after not being there in 5 years, and those people that took the college prep are delivering pizzas or not working at all. I go to a trade school where the potential to make over 100k a year is great because of the skilled laborer shortage.

I took college prep sciences and stuff because I thought it would be neat to learn, because I knew that I probably wasnt going to use it again. The education in this country should be the top priority since it is a direct investment for the future.

Actually, as far as nursing goes, there are some wonderful programs out there right now. If you are willing to make the committment as a freshman in college you can basically get your degree paid for. As far as the other fields you mentioned, I'm not sure. There is something noble in labor jobs, it used to help define this nation as hard-working, honest, and reliable. We should do whatever we can to get back to that. maybe someday we can take pride again in the products made by Americans.

me, but I believe we have to go beyond tuition help for adult job retraining.

Many of these people have children to support so they will need some additional form of economic assistance to live while they are retraining. How is a mother of 3 supposed to live if she is going to nursing school?

There. You got it out of me. The one instance where I actually favor wellfare.

Just as I was at the edge of my seat ,ready to jump all over this statement, you pre-empted me and now all the fun would be taken out of it. While I am not for all social programs, as I feel many of them are ineffective, programs like helping single mothers train for employment in needed careers would help our socitey greatly and we need to realize this.
