In the town where I grew up, 
we had a VoTech school. It was geared for
those who were *not* going to 
college but were looking for vocational
training.

In Europe, you 
typically have two different sets of high schools: a
VoTech high school and a 
college-prep high school. 

In the USA we have one public school -- all 
VoTech.
