I especially agree with you about vocational and technical education. As you say, not everyone has the aptitude or interest for a profession that requires a college degree. Further, our society doesn't need everyone to be college educated. However, we do need competent builders, plumbers, mechanics, etc., who have enough education to run their businesses successfully.<br /><br />As slow as the process is, it looks like you are this young woman's best hope for a better future. She's lucky to have found you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
