Education - finally someone says it

From the June 21st Herald-Bulletin's article, Ivy Tech’s new president sets vision:

The days of getting a job out of high school, as many in Anderson did in General Motors’ heyday, are over, he noted. Dropping out or failing, Snyder said, means those students are behind in an economy that demands more training for workers. Nestlé, he said, requires certification in some areas, such as Microsoft, and Ivy Tech can fill the bill.

Even acknowledging that Snyder was marketing Ivy Tech, this is truth in marketing. I would go further. Stopping your education at high school leaves you outside of the modern economy just as much dropping out of high school.
