Gov. Scott Walker asked Wisconsin's education leaders at their annual convention to help change the mind-set of those who influence the career paths of young students to include the fact that there are plenty of jobs that don't require a four-year college degree.
Walker spoke at the Joint State Education Convention in Milwaukee Friday where hundreds of school district administrators and school board members gathered for the last session of the three-day meeting.
Walker told education leaders he hears from local businesses about so many good paying, fulfilling careers that are available with an associate degree from a technical college. But, he says guidance counselors, parents and others who influence young people have to promote those careers as well.
Walker said in Germany for example, "skilled workers are lifted up on a pedestal" and are valued just as much as a doctor or lawyer.
