If you’re unfamiliar, basically in the US there’s a revolving argument door going on between trades workers and academic degree holders [usually boiling down to college=“useless” gender studies degree with $900000 in student loans or trade=Die at 35 from asbestos snorting]. As someone getting an engineering degree, I feel like I should be exempt from having to listen to these, bit unfortunately all the Spyware is loaded to show me ads before sending me to a camp for being a commie, instead of actually making my life better.
But I realized that a lot of arguments about it surround student loans, which a lot of other countries don’t have [as much of at least.] I know obviously there’s still going to be some white collar/ blue collar friction, but do they get anywhere near as heated, frequent, or constant as in the US?


Yeah, that.
That is not comparable to a trade school. It is geared towards unemployed and/or dropouts so that they may acquire a skill they can eke a living out with. I see courses like shoesmithing (cobbling) and “search engjne marketing executive” so it seems pretty broad spectrum.
