As of late, specialty schools are cropping up. My daughter is interested in Vet Tech. There is a school in Pitt PA and York PA that specialize in that training. No really need to attend a 4 year college. However, she is going to the local community college starting this fall. Major in English. Work on the 2 year associates then make her decision on what to do next. Transfer and finish the 4 total years somewhere or attend a technical school in the field she is interested in.
