Technical schools as an option to formal "liberal arts" education will work only if you have a local or regional economy that will accommodate you. As a kid in the '70s, the Philippines was a modestly industrialized country. We used to go on field trips to factories within the metro and OH, you had shoe factories, candy factories, factories for soap, textile and garment factories, various kinds of metal works, even electronics  factories. Well, all of those have moved out of the metro or simply died out. Broadly, a fresh graduate's option now is either the local service-utilities field or seek employment abroad. For either option, a bachelor's degree is the best bet.

Comrade from purely local the job marketplace is now global. Best to target emerging fields ( like fintech ) and choose the corresponding college courses that may at best give you an adequate grounding in your potential career. There are also internationally accepted certificates that you may want to aim  for and acquire to augment your cv.

For those about to graduate dont go for any job ( like call centre) simply because its there.

Madaming libreng SUCs besides UP. Youll be surprised na sobrang dami nang conyo at mayaman sa UP which makes free tuition for all sounds unfair. Would have preferred bracketing. Unlike what social media portrays, Sobrang liit lang ng porsyento nila ang aktibista.

Socialized tuition at UP is really just a minor matter. UP is open to all qualified applicants, rich or poor. Kill your notion that state colleges are just for the poor. It's not so hard. Try it. Take a deep breath...

Sa UP hindi naman free ang tuition substantially lower lang than Ateneo or La Salle And there is indeed socialized bracketing. Re activism it is good for students to be critical thinkers . Of all the things I learned is to always ASK and FIND OUT WHY. Wag tanggapin ang status quo and push for a change for the better. And that is encouraged  by most of the faculty. If that means to rail and demonstrate and fight for what you think is right so much the better.

It’s actually free. My son is in his first year and we didn’t pay a single cent.

Yes sir! Lahat naman ng student ay free. The only reason na may babayaran is if you stay longer than the course residency requirement.

Hmmm worth looking into. Will be having dinner with the UPD Chancellor later tonight. Might be an interesting topic.

[macbolan00]

The current chancellor might not know Alfred Pascual who has just been appointed as DTI chief. But one professor who's my friend says Pascual was a complete A-hole when he was UP president. He was appointed only because of his frat ('lonsi.) They say he was even fired from AIM because of a sexual harassment case.

congratulations on totally free and best quality education ! @IamGrumpy@macbolan00

Had dinner with the Chansy and yes it is indeed all free . Ang swerte niyo. The only downside is that we are totally dependent on what the government will allot to us for operation. Swerte din tayo dahil magaling ung coach at team natin!
