Wisconsin politicians and a few others have been talking lately about expanding vo-tech and community colleges. UW Madison teachers union is kind of griping because the UW system getting budget cut from state money. Madison Tech/community college is building more things and their 2 year grads are getting high$$ jobs while the 4 year degree people with womens studies and political science are working WallMArt or McDs for minimum. Milwaukee area the community colleges/tech schools and some business are working to get machinists and welders, CAD-CAM robot operators. The community colleges of state have a class schedule to cover the first 2 years of the main university- credits transfer upward no problem. Years back worked with a programmer that had a university history degree that took 5 years to get- and couldn't find a decent job unless maybe took a teaching course to get a job as a history teacher. She went to the MATC programming course for Cobol and Fortran, was making good money as a programmer and a couple times said she'd have been better off getting the programming 2 year degree and then after making some money going for the 4 years business degree with most of the 2 year degree transferring- like another programmer had done and moved into management after he got the 4 year degree as company policy mandated. Germany has arbitur test for highschool grads going to university- and a strong tech school system that gets about 1/2 the students for industrial and craft/trade courses. Fairly common is skilled trained worker getting advanced degree after couple years on job and advancing in industry and some business. The executive with MBA and no work experience is very rare in German industry- one factor some people have commented on for German economic stability during recent times. The actual work experience and common sense in economics was described by Merkel as a 'Swabian housewife attitude'- this while discussing possible cause of Greek economy and Greek Socialist politicians trying to get 'loan' money from mostly Germany without some changes in policies.
