'College for All' Reconsidered: Are Four-Year Degrees for All?
This June 2011 Education Week article argues that a four-year degree might not be the most beneficial post-secondary option for many students and the value of pursuing studies at a four-year institution. The author argues that at least one year of post-secondary education will be necessary in order for students to have the proper training for the jobs that will be available, but this post-secondary education could be an occupational certificate or associate degree.

I have seen a trend toward vocational schools and apprenticeship options in our area. We still have many students going to college, but many are going to a 2 year institution to get training in a specific field. I find this interesting, espeically in light of the push for college readiness.
