Phaedrus: A Community Of Welders?

Re: North Idaho College trustee debates: Nilson versus Howard/Hucks Online

Phaedrus: Because Nilson did not go to college he seems to have a chip on his shoulder and is not just in favor of pro-tech education, but is actually against non-tech higher education. Students go to college for an education, not just jobs; if it was up to Ron we'd have a community of welders and mechanics and nothing else.We need pro-tech education, it's good for the community, but it shouldn't be the sole purpose of our local college. I fear with Nilson and Ketchum it will become their sole focus.

Question: Does North Idaho College need to bolster its pro-tech program?
