It only takes 12-18 months, you learn a specific trade and many places like that. If you can get a job (and a lot of those schools help with that) its a great stepping stone towards career advancement. not everyone has to be a 4+ year degree seeker.

Looking back I should have chosen a different class. I took Criminal Justice at my vocational school and even took night classes and went through the academy, but I never pursued a career in it.

Yeah, I got my AA at community college but I don't really think I want to finish it at a college/university. The one I'm looking at is 32 weeks for clerical stuff. I scored well enough on the tests to get in to most any program I want. The main reason I'm considering it is because I won't have to pay for it. I barely make any money with my current job and am looking for something where I don't have to do physical shit, which are the only jobs I've had for the last 10 years.

The structure sounds weird with the school I'm looking at. The government acknowledges it and all that but from the sounds of things it sounds like I'll be on a computer completing my own course work, with 15-20 other people going at their own pace. There are instructors there to help I guess. Is this how vocational schools work these days? I'm pretty ignorant of them.

What did you end up with a career in?
