I didn't know collages cost that much. Seemed like an inexpensive project. Seriously though when you are living check to check there isn't money to put into a fund for college. It's nice that possibly you and others are able but all aren't. College is very expensive and the payout isn't great. I also agree that more monies should be provided for technical education. A lot of people tend to overlook those professions but they are so very important. @Bama. I didn’t know collages cost that much. Seemed like an inexpensive project.

Have you ever heard of collage fun? Instead of wasteing money on material things(iPads ,smart phones and concessions ) list goes on maybe invest that money into a fund to put your child in collage. Heck you only had 18 years to prepare for it To all complaining. Have you ever heard of collage fun?

I disagree that the person coming to fix my plumbing, fix my electric, or build my house is less because they have been educated. I have never met an over educated person. I have met arrogant people who think they have all the answers. Those people fall within the admonishment of Bertrand Russel"We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought." To think vocational education has to be a choice, or is mutually exclusive in training people who are faced with problems and need to develop solutions is mind numbing stupid.

There is a HUGE deficit in funding for technical education and skills nationwide but the money-hoarders in the legislature continue to feed more and more to colleges and universities. All of that so we can educate more foreign students to go back to their own countries, or over-educate our own students to the point that lacing their own shoes is beyond comprehension. I'm all for higher education but who keeps your lights on, your car running, builds your house and makes sure your toilets flush? Call a person who has a degree in Art and see how that works out for you. Even distribution of funds sure would make it nice for technical educators to more effectively do their jobs. New labs and equipment, better facilities, and pay that would make it worthwhile for someone to teach much needed skills. Where is the money for technical education?
