College or Technical College?

Just in the past few weeks it has been reinforced for me how important a college degree is to finding employment. Many classes of jobs that only required a high school degree in years past require an AA now, and if your goal is a supervisory position--in many cases you will need a four year degree.

Governing Magazine had a column on What Kind of Training Leads to 21st-Century Jobs?

One of the messages given there is the importance of technical training that normally only comes from community colleges and technical schools. While we are transitioning from a manufacturing economy to a service industry based society we still need technicians who understand the systems being designed for the 21st century.
