i'd argue much the same for any kind of "further ed". TAFE. apprenticeships. degrees.
loading a bunch of debt on young people has many toxic effects. paying off that debt get in the way of:
owning a home
forming relationships
having children
having a life
it's a small mortgage on your life.

Mr22 has been at TAFE learning to build circuit boards.
He’s just learned “micro soldering”. They need big lit magnifying glass, and they solder components not much larger than a piece of dust. They use tweezers and everything.
Very niche but marketable skill in today’s world.

Looking at free TAFE for next year and it's a toss-up between electrical pre-apprenticeship and videogame development. Not taking any comments on which would increase potential employability at this time.

Currently reading the NSW Tafe free course on "AI". Honestly it's not that bad. You'll know a lot more about "AI" than your average CEO.

Idealistic BS! Ain't gonna happen, no way never. Life isn't like that.
But how about making sure that no child lives in poverty, and that they can reach their full potential with free education through to university/TAFE graduation. You -can- actually do that.

Love the peace and quiet when Mr22 is at tafe. It doesn’t happen often, but it’s a great break. Alone time is important.

Anyone else remember this rather ... unusual advert for a technical college in Perth (which is now part of North Metropolitan TAFE)? It starts off with a nifty teleportation gimmick, but, uh, takes QUITE a turn.

The TAFE SA enrolment and student loan process is extremely and unnecessarily complicated and officious.

Quiet day today. Mr22 is at TAFE. I’ve even made the phone call I needed to make. Feels like another crash day. Still incredibly sleepy. Hoping I can rest.

Good god the theory requirements that I have to submit for TAFE to finish my first year is a fucking JOKE. Not helped by an assessor who is fucking useless with a laptop and has no idea what he’s doing. Also not helped by two fucking CLOWNS of 17-20 year olds just being fuckwits. I hate it here.

I should be able to get everything I need to do for TAFE this year done today, provided our fucking infuriating teacher just LETS me. The dude is insufferable.

There are 2 super systems as it was changed early 2000s, some still on old system as they could not change to new one. That is the new system. Med/dental not free for family members, most pay for private. TAFE is for trades, uni is ADFA. Both of these add 2 to 3 years to their initial enlistment.
