I'd be happy just to set off some Democrats at this point.The reason why you need a college degree to flip burgers is that the possession of such a degree demonstrates that you are willing and able to work, to follow directions and get assignments turned in on time, something that is unfortunately sadly lacking in a high school diploma. I do not think that a four year college degree is required of everyone, but an Associate Degree seems to be the new minimum. LION would certainly expect that Community Colleges will be available to all who wish it, and it should be encouraged, and should be on the taxpayer's dime. If one wants to enter a full four year college right out of grade 12, then this is always possible, but on your own dime. Transition from a two year college to a four year college is also to be encouraged. But the LION is not focusing on college in this discussion, but on those who do not go to college. LION thinks that a proper vocational education will not dump people into the labor market as "Entry Level" but rather at the Journeyman level. LION sees putting Federal Money on the table to promote this branch of education. Contract with UNIONS to help train up people to the levels required by their trades and by their employers. Contract with some of the bigger employers to run trade schools on their own. The Electric Cooperatives in North Dakota do just this: They do run a school to train linemen and the other workers that they need. You can see them out in the yard all year round, setting up poles, stringing wires and doing the work that will be required of them. LION is not worried about those who can... He wants to help those who have not. ROAR |
