4. there is pretty much none of that kind of education left in chicago.
i would like to know the real reasons for that. someone i doubt is was simple dollars and sense. more likely cutting off the supply so that skills would still be scarce, and therefore those in those jobs would be safe.
there used to be a huge trade school run jointly by the unions and the school system. all the building trades, plus chefs. it was in a crummy part of town, iow, where it belonged. they moved it out to a spot in the suburbs which is almost completely cut off from public transit. much smaller, too, i believe.
and i did i mention that this was all free? 4 years. free.
but we don't give a shit about that now.
