HAS ANYONE EVER ATTENDED a  VOCATIONAL-TECHNICAL SCHOOL????

I attended vocational school when i was in high school and thought it was great.  You had the opportunity to experience the field you were interested in rather than just learn things that were going to set you up to experience it.  The problem with attending vocational school is that you do not have the opportunity to get as many of the courses that you need for attending a good university.  The usefulness of vocational school directly relates to what your career goals are.  Having said that, even though I attended vocational school through most of my high school years, I am still a professional in the medical field with a bachelors degree.  So it is not something that prevents you from attending college either.  It just does not prepare you as well.

I worked teaching vocational  special ed for five years.  1/2 of thge money spent there or more is on deadheads in the central office. 1/4  went to fancy crap to look good for visitors.  Much of the fedral money  sent to schools is wasted

It's called a university or technical college.\n\nGeorgia Tech is a good one.

The reason for vocational school is so people can learn about and persue more hands on.. trade related careers.  I've found they are starting to call Vocational schools, Community colleges now.  Basically the schools programs are trade related, the tuition is affordable and the programs run at the most two years.. depending on what course you take though... electricial and plumbing is a little different..\n\nI went to Vocational for an Industrial Rigging  program, it was a great program, cheap, and I got a great paying job immediately .. can't beat it.  My friends who spent way too much money for a University degree are still working dead end minimum wage jobs.. \nfor some reason they still make fun of the school I went to..

i can tell you i have checked out those kind of programs where you do your school work from home and they really end up costing a forune i know here in Florida we have a lot of vocational schools that have so many opportunitys and if you are under the age of 21 alot of these classes are free. My advice call the local votech and inquire about it. Better to get it for free or for barely anything. plus the classes are only a couple nights a week

The pre-school that I was fortunate enough to have been a part of in Minneapolis, MN did.\n\nThe Lead Teacher and myself (Assistant Teacher), took the time to make sure our children practiced etiquette/ethics frequently.  You would be surprised how impressionable and teachable children are on these two subjects at this age.\n\nIt worked excellent!!

Doesn't exist at a 4-year school.  I was an audio/studio engineer for years, I learned by doing.  There are vocational schools that offer audio engineering certification and help place you in employment when you finish.

I went to Job Corps. I was in Business/Clerical trade where I learned to type. Among other things I got my high school diploma from the local high school. This looks better on my resume than GED. I took a couple of college classes that they paid for but they refused to pay for any more. That's a sore spot with me :(\n\nI also learned a lot of things that I didn't imagine I would learn at Job Corps. I learned how much I could drink without dying of alcohol poisoning. I learned how to handle my liquor. I learned how to roll a joint. I learned that there's all types of guys and you can't judge a book by its cover. I learned what love is (kinda). I learned that sometimes you have to put up with a whole lotta crap from staff and students to get the ultimate goal of education but it's worth it in the end. Going off campus for weekend passes helped me a lot. I didn't go home much but I begged my friends to take me home with them. I can't tell you how much I learned from this. I learned how I don't want to live in poverty like my friends did. If you need someone to talk to I would love to listen. My yahoo ID is i2cu8122000

ONLY ONE of my friends of those that attended vocational schools ever did anything worth mentioning; the others are still driving buses or working in Sanitation or working as Maintainers (repair work) in the subway systems or still working in garages as grease-monkeys.  That one person who did this is my buddy of 43 years who also made the sacrifice of going to college and he struggled because of his poor academic skills that he received in vocational school but he buckled down and studied harder and persevered until he got his BA and he is now in a Supervisory position.  My buddy is the exception to the rule, but the exception does NOT make the rule...!\n\nBecause of his college degree and the dogged way of studying and passing exams, he is the youngest and the only one of the supervisors that went up the hierchical ladder because of his college degree, except for a couple of incompetent fools who have cronies in positions of "power" within the Transit system, and those nincompoops are always making a mess of things (they're going to be in a heap of trouble once my buddy retires)!\n\nConsider this: years of being a minor: 21 years; years of being an adult: THE REST OF YOU LIFE!  If you "sacrifice" a few more years (and, believe me, these years will seem to go by so quickly), and you also sacrifice some time away from fun-times, you will have a more comfortable adulthood afterward if you settle into a comfortable routine of studying and getting your work done on time; you will develop good study habits and develop the academic skills to enable you to do well in college, which will prepare you for whatever you wish to do for the rest of your life, and that's an awfully long time!  I speak from experience. \n\nSmart people learn from their mistakes; WISE people learn from the mistakes of others.  WHAT do you prefer to do?

Basically it is a former polytechnic. I was there for a short diploma course a few years ago. I enjoyed it. The beer is cheap, the women are four or five out of ten (usually 32b to 36d), the food is awful and served in a grubby, crowded canteen, everyone has really horrible, grating accents. The lecturers are nice people and the ones I met varied from competent to actually interesting. Nobody cares whether you get what you thought you would get out of your course so be prepared to insist. Pick a course where the trainer has real world experience of what he is teaching.

Hello.  Yes I went to college and did my NVQ1 and 2 in BSL, hoping that it would enhance my abilities with the Autistic and challenged kids I work with.  Yes it did, but in the real world I have used it twice in 5 years!  Once to help a deaf passenger order a sandwich on a ferry and another to help a deaf lady ask if a cabinet came in a different colour!  Try at the local council offices and also the court house as they often require translators.  Failing that, Look on the net for Deaf Meeting clubs as they always know of jobs for hearing BSL experts.\n\nGood Luck!
