LETTER: Vocational education should be even more attractive

In response to your Wednesday editorial: Vocational schools might increase their enrollment further if they quit requiring college courses as part of their curriculum. I have seen two-year vocational programs requiring college English, psychology, etc. A person who who wants to learn to fix cars shouldn’t have to take college English or psychology. Vocational schools should also not cost as much as a four-year institution.

Fix these two things, and the enrollment will increase beyond 16 percent.
