I’m w banana cake about education... but I don’t agree w the idea that someone cannot get a high paying career without high school algebra/alg 2/geometry .

that’s naive in my opinion

My dd1 just started technical college for a decent high paying healthcare career (surgical tech- if she wants to progress and get certified for specific types of surgeries, within a few years, she can be making $90k plus). . For math, She only needed alg 1 for admittance to her program . If she didn’t have that (she took alg 1, alg 2 and geometry), they would’ve allowed her to start w remedial math while she takes her gen eds .

She didn’t take high school chemistry. I was really concerned but they don’t care

she just has to take it in college (high school or college level chemistry). From what I can tell community college/technical college is the answer for those who are slower learners or not good at specific subjects. Flexible w remedial options And so much chealer than regular university anyways.

My dd’s Entire 70 credit associates will be around $10k for tuition.

And many many healthcare degrees at this school have exact same entrance requirements. I don’t know much about their non healthcare programs but they have a great reputation— From what I can tell if u want to be in a program, they will help you figure out how to do it

and they have a very high job placement rate
