I have no idea how you’d even begin to implement it, but I would think it’d be beneficial to require students applying for loans or financial aid to declare a major and then approve or deny those requests based on market conditions. Part of the reason college is so bad right now is it’s just a very expensive extension of public schooling. How many Sociology majors do we really need out there? Then these ridiculously bloated programs end up shaping the entire culture at the school.
Well, until we overreact and start pushing too many kids there instead.

Yes — vocational schools (also known as trade schools, technical schools, or career and technical education institutions) often receive public subsidies, but the degree and form of support depends heavily on the country and, in the U.S., the state and type of institution. Here's a breakdown:
1. Public vocational schools
2. Private, for-profit vocational schools
3. Apprenticeships and workforce programs
1. Public vocational schools
- Many vocational programs are part of public community colleges or regional technical centers funded by state and local governments.
- These institutions receive direct appropriations (state education budgets) and sometimes federal grants via the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act (“Perkins Act”), which supports workforce and technical education.
- Students in these schools can also receive federal financial aid (Pell Grants, student loans), just like traditional colleges.
2. Private, for-profit vocational schools
- These schools typically do not receive direct government operating subsidies, but their students may still use federal aid (Pell Grants, federal student loans, veterans’ education benefits).
- This effectively channels public subsidies indirectly through students, even though the institutions themselves are private.
- However, these schools have been subject to stricter oversight because of concerns about tuition inflation, debt, and employment outcomes.
3. Apprenticeships and workforce programs
- Many apprenticeship programs (in trades like plumbing, construction, or manufacturing) are jointly subsidized by employers, labor unions, and government workforce funds.
- The U.S. Department of Labor and state agencies provide grants to expand such programs.
