Paying for community college - Toledo Blade Editorial

Here are two things every Ohio lawmaker should know: Most of the good-paying jobs in the new economy will require more than a high school diploma. But most of them will require less than a four-year degree. One-year certificates in high-demand fields such as welding, accounting, auto mechanics, and commercial driving, or two-year associate’s degrees in computer repair and advanced manufacturing, will land students in jobs that pay $50,000 or $60,000 a year, or more. Still, state lawmakers, most of them products of four-year institutions of higher education, continue to treat Ohio’s community colleges and their more than 200,000 students like second-class citizens. http://www.toledoblade.com/Editorials/2013/04/01/Paying-for-community-college.html
