Some countries have a testing system that funnels non academic students toward art or trade secondary schools and others into academia....here we sort of let them figure it out themselves and if you have enough money non of that matters...you can buy your way into college. Trade schools are an excellent alternative to academic degrees. I believe scholarships for our most talented students is what makes us a great nation. The poorest kid could become the most gifted professional if money didn't separate talent from access. Trades should be attractive to talented young people....too many people work at jobs they don't like at all or have no talent for. Teachers are like talent scouts if they are good teachers...they know who the naturals are.
