Topic: We should subsidize vocational education
supporting vocational education is important to do because it helps so many children learn a trade to get a job
taxes are already so high.  we should spend our money on better infrastructure instead of subsidizing a small portion of education.
taxes are already too high, and vocational education grants would be too onerous.
taxpayers should not be required to subsidize a person's education in any area as a person does not take their education seriously unless it is paid for them themselves.
technical and vocational education is a valuable endeavor that offers great career prospects, it ought to be encouraged to ensure young adults have the best opportunity for employment
the city, state, and/or federal government not only have higher priorities in other areas, but there is also debt/budget deficit to consider. in other words, we may not be able to afford another program.
the cost of vocational education far outweighs the benefits in terms of earnings capacity.
the cost to our society to educate is very high
The economy has changed and the manufacturing sector is growing and modernizing. Vocational education is a smart investment in our country's economic future.
the educational system is highly flawed and we need to fix other things first like better teaching wages
The future of employment will be one where people have many careers due to rapid changes in technology and society, and so an education that teaches people how to learn is preferable to learning a trade.
the government cannot be expected to cover extra schooling for only a part of the population
the government can't afford to subsidize everything that people want to learn to do. there has to be a cut off point where students have to pay for it themselves. do not subsidize vo-ed.
the government needs to stop spending money and going into debt for all these programs.
the importance of the education of our professionals must be taken into consideration in our society
the learning of skills is benificial to society
the person benefiting from the education should pay for it
the poor also have the right to education
the private company could subsidize this type of education
the public should not fund other peoples life style choices
The salaries of vocational school graduates are significantly less than those earned by college graduates with bachelors degrees. Better to subsidize 4-year colleges than vocational schools.
the skills learnt during vocational learning might not be useful.
The status quo has a lack of people employed in traditional trades, and subsidizing vocational education would help fill that economic inefficiency.
the trades need more workers and we should encourage kids who aren't college material to pick up a trade.
the trades people will benefit greatly from having a vocational education as they will have much better carrer prospects, and as such they should be the ones that pay for the education.
the way of things is people pay to further their education and that's the way it should be as the government can't afford to take on more.
there are already enough options for schooling
