It seems that private enterprise is indeed giving the Colleges and Universities a run for their money as Corporate Trade Schools are offering some pretty high-tech systems to attract students and also offering long-distance learning systems so you can get a degree while you are home or traveling.
Getting an important certification can be very important indeed for those attempting to comply with on-going education or needing to further their education. Imagine if you will the many simulators for training truck drivers, pilots and air-traffic controllers. Now we have virtual reality available for business negotiation and roll playing for lawyers.
The High Tech Trade Schools of the Future are here now and one only has to look at Embre Rittle flight schools and aviation industry trade college or the University of Phoenix and all their many locations across the country to see that private enterprise is starting to catch up and even surpass many of the top University Programs in the United States.
You see in my opinion anything a government or a large bureaucracy like many academic institutions can do, well entrepreneurs and free enterprise can do better an these High Tech Trade Schools of the Future are doing just that. So, perhaps you will consider all this in 2006
