May 17, 2010 – Hour 2

This weekend the New York Times published an article wondering if
we encourage too many people to pursue a traditional college eduction. 
Should we put more energy into vocational training and other "practical"
job skills, rather than encouraging people to get a Bachelor’s Degree?
