Declining enrollment at CSU campuses

[carnation]

I taught part time for a vo-tech college for years. From that, I know that while the kids get good offers right out of school, they often work in bad conditions--like roofers, welders, and plumbers.

Y'all remember Blazercheer? She got a B.S. in a health field over 20 years ago but about 5 years ago, wanted to go into cybertech. She picked up an A.S. in the field at the same vo-tech school where I taught and was almost immediately making 6 figures. She said she wouldn't be at her level, however, without the B.S. in a totally unrelated field.

This. The school where I work/attend is experiencing problems related to this ( and other things).
