I-Is this board only for dating advice?

Anyway, in germany there are "Applied Sciences Universities" And "Traditional Universities", is there such a thing in the US.

In which type of university would you rather study? Why?

I went to community college for heating and air conditioning repair. Traditional universities in the US are just leftist indoctrination centers. I got a job right away with my certification but I have friends who went to "real" college and are stuck living at home working dead end retail jobs.

Yes, here they're called "Trade Schools" as we refer to Plumbers, Carpenters, Electricians, etc, as "Tradespeople" but some trade schools are also community colleges. I just graduated in December from one like that and I'm lined up for an excellently paying job at an excellent company.

The problem I had with university was that their classes are so specialized, and I've always been interested in and admired cross-disciplinary people and their skills. I don't want to just be a motorcycle mechanic, I don't just want to know about computers. I want to be able to configure a server, rebuild carburetors, and wire up three phase transformers. I just feel much cooler that way.

Here's my advice:

Don't.

That's interesting, but you can build up cross-disciplinary people without college. with books, MOOCs, and researching over the internet.

Since that theorical stuff is better found on th internet than practical stuff. You could just replace it with internet stuff.

> but you can build up cross-disciplinary people without college. with books, MOOCs, and researching over the internet.

Well, I got the motorcycle and computer stuff all outside of school, but you tell me if you would, "Just for fun" "just to learn" put a screwdriver near a high voltage 3 phase transformer.

In carpentry, if you fuck up slightly, some things might not look straight. In plumbing if you fuck up slightly, you'll get some water damage or more frequent clogging. In electrical if you fuck up slightly you burn the building down with everyone in it. Things I've learned from the instructors who have been in the trades for decades that would seem innocuous to a layman are actually very deadly, whether in the short or long term.
