Imagine school in which students and faculty understood clearly where students would apply the skills they are practicing.

@garyackerman This is one of the important differences between an 18 month trade school program where the Job market will be similar to when one started and a 4 year college where the economy may well have moved on by the time an entering freshman graduates. It is why I have been advising for quite some time for High school students who want to work in a specific industry to start with a focused program and "go back" for a 4-year or MA degree once they have some time in the industry.

Unfortunately, too many jobs still require overly broad 4-year degrees to even get ones foot in the door.
