And the college course is free and we get paid a low weekly wage while we're learning lol.
Thank you!
There are still technical high schools around, but "career & technology" schools are more common. The focus tends to be on college/university attendance though... the funny thing is how it's all to lead to the next payment. Lincoln Technical Institute is involved in some kind of legal wranglings among with all the other tech schools/community colleges/etc. involving the overuse of student loans. So, I'm still stuck with the bill without even a lousy completion
printout to throw in a frame.
I tried to get into a shop years prior to no avail. I had only sales in my background, so I never got calls back. After LTI I could get all kinds of interviews, though.
