The Labor Department notes over 100 million American workers with an average of 12 plus years of schooling. While high school completion remains common, many jobs favor experience over formal education, with examples like machine tool operators and bartenders offering on the job training and no diploma required in some cases.
A UCLA education professor challenges the belief that vocational education expands opportunity. The study tracked 1,576 students over 28 months across 50 schools in four cities, finding dropouts higher among disadvantaged students and little evidence that vocational training raised earnings, except for women in traditional female fields. Some proprietary schools recruited unqualified students, but most performed better than public schools in preparing students for low level jobs at lower costs.
