Eh? None of the teachers or professors I had ever called college vocational training or ever insinuated that it was. None of my employers ever expected me to know everything I needed to know just because I went to college. My parents, and other adults from their generation that I know would never call it vocational training either.

College helps us learn new ways of thinking and teaches us a lot of the theory and some of the practice behind the profession we think we want to go into. A college education is no guarantee for success, but it does tend to say something about the person.
