My daughter ended up going the high school's tech center for three years.

I teased her about being a "techer" and needing to buy some flannel shirts, but it was a great decision.  After three years she had her cosmetology license and a job.  No further schooling needed unless she chose to do it.

My son will be a freshman and is looking at going up there for their electrical engineering.

I always told them that a skill is better than a piece of paper IF you have one.
