At any rate - I don't know what it's like where this girl is going to school, but our school had choices for curricula other than college prep or votech. My point being that just because she isn't in votech, doesn't mean she's not going to come straight out of school and get a job.

This is exactly the kind of conversation I was trying to avoid.
My point is exactly as Valkyrie posted - vocational schools are specifically intended for 'job preparation' while non-vocational schools should not be saddled with such expectations, as they exist to educate students, not to get them jobs. To argue otherwise is to a.) bastardize education, which should be a more 'pure' exercise and b.) place too much burden on teachers/administrators.
