I know he means well...

...but Clarence Page comes off as a little bit myopic here. I'm guessing he thinks all those attendees of the two-year college should be on a four-year degree track, which isn't a bad goal on the surface, but where does that leave trades like plumbing, welding, machining and such? It's always seemed to me that classes for those trades -- vo-tech classes or whatever you call them -- have gotten an unfairly bad rap, because in some cases that particular track can be every bit as lucrative as a college degree. And there are reasons for that. It seems to me that no one who's talking about higher-ed talks about that, and I haven't the foggiest idea as to why.
