This.

What people miss is that the value of education isn't the job you get right after college, it's the job you get 10 to 15 years after college. A good education gives you fundamental knowledge to can leverage your whole life.

Let's check back in with these trade programs in a few years and see how their people are doing then.

To be clear, this is not a trade program. A bachelors degree is required (and screened by accreditors) to have a broad based education encompassing liberal arts and theoretical education.
