Vocational schools prepare you to be a tool.
Liberal arts prepare you to be a tool user.

Losfromcp@bobwyman @hoffman @jeffjarvis I disagree with your take, Bob. A skilled trade can provide a pathway to freedom and independence. I agree that liberal arts are valuable, but not everyone needs nor desires a formal liberal arts education. Knowledge can be pursued outside the system (though many do not do it)
