Martin Rodriguez on 21 Mar 14I ran into this video a few semesters ago and began thinking about my educational experience at the university I attended. After careful examination of the video two questions emerged. Do we really need 4-6 years of additional education to be fully prepared for a career? Did the college/university you attended prepare you for the career you currently have? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRnHlQo6Sx0

Martin Rodriguez on 28 Mar 14Rene, don't get me wrong, I'm a huge advocate of higher education I just think that we might be over doing it. I'm also a firm believer that not everyone is college material, I heard someone this week say that "not everyone is college material, besides we need good bar tenders." We need to stop trying to send everyone to higher education and focus on technical options; at least that is my take on this.

Martin Rodriguez on 28 Mar 14Amanda, this has been my biggest beef with dual enrollment for the last 10 years, getting these very young, extremely educated graduates who have no experience what so ever. Who in their right mind will hire a 21 year old with a master degree and no experience in the field? The dual enrollment programs need to incorporate internships into the program, allowing for these young students to acquire some sort of hands on experience before graduating.
