Nothing can be worse than studying subjects that have no relevance or applicability to your workplace, trade or profession. A lot of us face the dilemma of having gone through such an educational format. That is why vocational education and trade schools are relevant. They are basically post-secondary training institutes for adult-learners who want to gain immediate job-specific skills. Whatever trade school you opt for, make sure that it is accredited.
