Left Outraged As Gen Z Is Forgoing College to Attend Trade Schools - CrimsonPhantom - 01-03-2019 02:36 PM Quote:Generation Z, the generation coming up after Millennials, are proving that they’re going to be the next great generation in terms of not being an ungrateful waste of space. Link RE: Left Outraged As Gen Z Is Forgoing College to Attend Trade Schools - Kronke - 01-03-2019 02:50 PM Unless you're going to major in STEM, it's such a no brainer. And even if you are, just like law students have learned, there comes a point where even those fields become saturated.

RE: Left Outraged As Gen Z Is Forgoing College to Attend Trade Schools - VA49er - 01-03-2019 03:08 PM My 13 year old actually walked up to me a couple of days ago and said she wanted to do community college for two years and then go to college. I was so proud of her. Now, we'll see if that idea sticks but the fact that a 13 year old even was thinking in that way was surprising.

I never thought he paid any attention to me, but holy s**t was I wrong. If he keeps a GPA above 3.5 he can transfer to a number of local 4 year places tuition free.... 1st semester 3.95!!!!! Son #2 wants to go to the military get some skills then take GI bill to get a trade.... Same kids I was yelling at to stop eating bark only a few years ago...... RE: Left Outraged As Gen Z Is Forgoing College to Attend Trade Schools - BobcatEngineer - 01-03-2019 03:30 PM Nothing wrong with trade school. RE: Left Outraged As Gen Z Is Forgoing College to Attend Trade Schools - 49RFootballNow - 01-03-2019 03:33 PM Community college is great for certain 4-year degree transfers but having lived it I would never recommend an engineering student do that route.

Why is that? Are the first two year courses for engineering different from the first two year courses for other degrees? RE: Left Outraged As Gen Z Is Forgoing College to Attend Trade Schools - BadgerMJ - 01-03-2019 03:43 PM What...... You mean work boots are for something other than a fashion statement????? Who can blame them. Work in a corporate office occupied by snowflakes, soy-boys, in-ur-face feminists, the socially advanced, and the PC crowd or work in a trade setting with men and people who live in the real world....... RE: Left Outraged As Gen Z Is Forgoing College to Attend Trade Schools - Lord Stanley - 01-03-2019 03:47 PM But is the left really outraged? Someone predisposed to going to a trade school was probably never going to be a Bernie voting purple haired feminist even if they went to Wesleyen.......

I think that's the point. Your average kid isn't predisposed to anything. Millennials for the most part were scammed into the liberal arts. Gen Z has learned better.

My daughter is a senior in HS right now and she ultimately chose a college where she will be able to commute - we're about 35 min away tops in the worst possible traffic. In order to save money, she'll commute to the main campus for engineering. I'm a little worried about her not living on campus and doing a hard core STEM major (chemical engineering); however, this is what she wants to do to start out. That plus having roughly $28K worth of scholarships lined up so far will greatly minimize her debt load. She wants to try her absolute hardest to pay for her schooling by herself. Got lucky with this one wrt college at least.

GenZ appears to be a 'throwback' generation and elected to completely avoid the "progress" the millenials made with their "wokeness"... There are still a sizable number of millenials who are conservative leaning though.

I agree. I don't know if your kid is a fan of pewdiepie, but I think he (and the whole subculture surrounding him) has a lot to do with it. The alt-left media is trying to label him as a nazi, and it's breaking these kids' conditioning. They know they are lying.

That's pretty much how my sons did it, but reversed. My oldest had scholarship offers in high school to be an athletic trainer but decided after doing it for four years in high school the last thing he wanted to do was be an athletic trainer. Instead he enlisted in the army as a combat medic, earned his National Registry EMT-Basic ticket in AIT then had the Army not only allow him to attend the community college full time to get his National Registry EMT-Paramedic certification but the Army paid for half of it. He wisely saved his GI Bill by paying for his half of the community college costs out of pocket. Now he's out of the Army, is employed with a county EMS service nearby and is taking online courses thru Arizona State towards a degree in Emergency Management. With the national shortage of Paramedics as long as he keeps his certification he'll never have to look long for a job. Even with a full time position he is constantly fielding job offers from other 911 and non-emergency services. My youngest is enrolled at the local technical college (our term for community college) working towards an Associates in Science. At this point he's not sure what he wants to major in so he didn't see how it made sense to pay out more money when he wasn't sure where he wanted to go. He's trending towards something in either forestry or parks management so he's applying for several apprenticeships this summer to get his feet wet and see if that's what he truly wants to do.

You just can't replicate the demands you'll face in a four-year school in most STEM fields at the community college level. The alternative is to take all your humanity electives at CC, but that could lead to STEM overload your junior/senior years. RE: Left Outraged As Gen Z Is Forgoing College to Attend Trade Schools - EverRespect - 01-03-2019 04:46 PM My kids are getting the boot after the summer is over following HS graduation. What they do from their is their choice, but staying at home and commuting or going to community college will not be an option. I am a big believer of accumulating responsibilities to grow up. I'd rather they take a little longer and go at night while learning how to live within a budget and pay bills. Whether or not I am willing to pay for 4-year college depends on the child, their history, and their plans. Obviously, if my child has the makes of a neurosurgeon, I'm not going to screw that up, but s/he can also achieve that with a scholarship to ODU as opposed to $50k/year at Harvard. One thing I am not going to do if fund someone that has no vision or one with a grandiose vision that has achieved nothing. I guess what I am saying is I'll take it case by case, but the one consistent rule is you won't be living under my roof. |
