It used to be like that (community college - 3 years) here as well, but the
powers that be decided in their infinite wisdom that a baccelor's degree
should be the minimum educational requirement. So tuition went up about
300%, and it now takes longer to train a technologist. The pay and the job
is the same though, and they can't seem to figure out why there's a shortage
of technologists....hmmm?
