Career Training or Traditional College – What is Best for You? July 30, 2021

If you already know what your passions and interests are, then a multi-disciplinary education might not be the best fit for you.  A big complaint among college students is that they have a load of course requirements that do not necessarily relate to their area of interest or career aspirations.  Career training eliminates a lot of the trivial coursework and helps to save money in the process.

Here are some key differences:

THE SALON PROFESSIONAL ACADEMY

Costs less
Focus on career preparedness
Hands-on learning
Small class sizes

Real world brought into the classroom
Tight-knit community

TRADITIONAL COLLEGE

More expensive

Large lecture halls
4 years + potential graduate school
Broad, interdisciplinary education
Taught by professors
Internships
Big social scene
Potential for lab experience
