That was *exactly* what I said when I left my last job and only ONE person of FOURTY got it.
Needless to say I hated that job, the people I worked with, and the people I worked for and was more than happy to pack my paper box and haul ass out of there. I love my new job and it's recession-proofness. (seriously)
I don't agree with Vo-Tech's breeding the lazy or a place for people who don't care to go.
I go to a Vo-Tech and I get a good education in Network Administration, I am just not rich and entitled to attend a University public or private. My parents make no money, I am a single parent who has to work full time and barely make it. Spending $500+ per credit is obscene and completely not doable for someone in my position.
For example, my boyfriend's parents are loaded, he goes to the local state university. I go to a local tech college. In the 2 years it will take me to get my degree I will not have spent as much as he does in ONE semester. That is rediculous. Besides, from the people I know in HR they don't so much look at WHERE you got the degree just that you HAVE one. I am pulling 4-5 classes a semester, working full time and taking care of my kid and I think I'm working my ass off. So you may call me lazy for going to a Vo-Tech, I call you pompus for going to a university.
