I think this guy is talking out of school. The statement he made about people with a degree is just not true. People in the trades provide more jobs. Some of those jobs are high paying jobs. Some of us are not equipted to get a degree. We will always need people who to provide services. Builders,plumbers,electricians and hvacrs are just a few. People with a degree may start at a higher pay but it is the grunts that keep things running.
Very broad statement by the speaker. A comment I would like to address, a career college is based on students to get an education such as health field topics to move out of the current environment that is not working for them now. In 9 months or more, they will have a diploma, certification (if pass the certification exam) to excel in the field they have studied. Comments by the Dr., is well and appropriate for the student that has not dropped out of high school and is in the median of a well geographic environment. We mush also help the students that want to better their lifestyle and support their families. A Bachelor's or a Master's is very far goal for them. The topic must be more specific and not so fague. I agree with the post below to the individual speaking of other professions.
He must be dicussing a different type of school, people in these type of trades provide more jobs and sometimes the people with degrees start at a higher paying job, but your right the person below usually is the one running certain aspects of things.
