College Enrollment decreasing because of High Tuition

4. Or maybe they should ask, "Why have real wages been decreasing for 30 years while corporate profits

are through the ceiling?" along with "Why do those with legacy admissions seem to do so much better after college financially than those who actually qualified academically?"

No one takes 4 years of core classes in college.

Job training is actually the job of business now, and has been since No Child Left Behind (NO, I do not support NCLB). Literacy, numeric manipulation, and critical thinking are the current job of high schools. Want high school to be a terminal degree?

Then get off No Child Left Behind, which killed vocational education to benefit the testing industry and return to where we were pre-1984, when welders, plumbers, cosmetologists, electricians, auto mechanics, auto paint and body folk, locksmiths, carpenters, framers, bricklayers, drywall techs, roofers, cabinet makers all graduated from the same high school where I now teach.

Those courses and licensing procedures have been moved by the Texas Legislature to junior colleges and post-secondary tech schools. Perhaps you can get an answer out of them - Lord knows I avoid contact in case terminal greediness is catching.
