Subject: Hmmmm ... Author: Walter Richards [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08/25/06 1:57pm In reply to: Sandy 's message, "It has been a done deal for about a decade or so" on 08/23/06 2:20pm Quote: People want the prestige that having a college provides but I don't see the facts that this area can support a college or that the college is doing much for this area. How much can the college do, when the local gov't seems more interested in bringing in tourism than industry? You don't need a college degree for most of the seasonal (tourism) work. But it's a Catch-22. Industry wants an educated base for its employees, but educational establishments need the industry to employ graduates to offer the courses industry wants for potential employees. So if an industry that wants educated employees isn't already in the area, it's unlikely one will move in. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
