Good information from everybody. I appreciate it. My son is looking at a 2 year tech school, thinking that he doesn't want to go to school all his young life. This information may help him to broaden his search for other schools.
You've received some good advice. a 4 year degree is the way to go. 2 years as a young man may seem forever but I regard a 2 year engineering degree in my business as no degree at all while I start hiring 4 year degreed engineers near 6 figures (assuming they can get a security clearance). Please encourage him to move on to a BS (I want to retire some day and need a replacement
)
