2014 Alumnus of the Year Awards
During the Commencement service on Friday, May 9, the Faith Alumni Association honored two individuals with Alumnus of the Year awards in the category of Christian layworker.
Mrs. Sandi Nihart
Sandi Nihart was born in Concord, California as the oldest of 3 sisters. Her father was a policeman while her mother remained in the home and attended to the needs of the family.
At the age of 8 two monumental events happened in her life. The first event was attending a Good News Club in her neighborhood. She went mainly because they had snacks! Her teacher told the crucifixion story and how Jesus loved us so much He died for our sin. That afternoon Sandi trusted Christ as her Savior. The second event was the death of her mother, immediately giving Sandi the responsibility of helping her younger sisters.
At the age of 13 a Sunday school teacher began to minister in her life. With consistent love and care she became instrumental in teaching Sandi how to trust in God. She introduced her to Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for good, to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
This verse had an immediate application because Sandi and her two sisters were unable to stay in their home in California. So on a snowy winter day they arrived at the Baptist Children's Home in Valparaiso, Indiana.
During her teen years, the Baptist Children's Home provided Sandi with a godly and loving home with house parents, Dick and Carol Montei, who daily taught her the Word of God.
As a high school senior, Sandi was asked what she was going to do upon graduation. She really had not thought about that next step! She promptly asked house parents, Dick and Carol, what to do, and they encouraged her to attend Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, Iowa. Knowing the love they demonstrated to her, she read a Faith brochure and promptly completed and mailed an application.
Sandi left the Baptist Children's Home in the fall of 1974 and traveled to Ankeny, Iowa, a place she had never seen! Given her background, our honoree was concerned with being different from other collegians. In fact, having spent her teen years at the Baptist Children's Home always asking for permission to do things, she could not understand why her resident advisor did not want to know where she was every second of the day!
During her collegiate years at Faith, Sandi was involved as a student association representative, drama team member, youth conference committee member, special event committees, and women's intramural sports. She continues her athletic interests today by playing on a granny basketball team.
It was during her time at Faith she met her husband Lanny whom she married in May of 1977. She continued her education and graduated in 1978. Upon graduation, our honoree and Lanny remained in Ankeny, where she worked for a while for Faith as a full-time cook.
Sandi has utilized her Faith training and education by ministering for the past 37 years at Ankeny Baptist Church. In her church she has been involved in Awana, Vacation Bible School, nursery, senior high and collegiate ministry leader, discipleship and CE committees, and on a missions trip to Haiti.
Through the years she has also assisted her husband's coaching ministry at Faith, supported and attended school events, hosted collegians in her home, and participated as a freshmen orientation speaker. Additionally, she has audited several seminary modules and has pursued certification as a Biblical counselor.
Today,Sandi often speaks at ladies retreats, youth camps, and special banquets. She currently is the lead teacher for a Bible study group for ladies in the Ankeny community who have no direct relationship with her church.
Sandi and Lanny have three children—Erin, Eric, and Jay. All three children attended Faith and found their spouses at Faith. She has six grandchildren, and her desire is for ALL her grandchildren to attend Faith as well!
Because of Sandi Nihart's commitment to Faith and service for Christ, the Faith Alumni Association is happy to present to her the 2014 female Alumnus of the Year award.
John Javaux
John Javaux was raised on a farm in Idaho, the youngest of five children. He was a member of FFA and played football in high school.
John trusted Christ as his Savior while a senior in high school through the influence of a friend who invited him to a church youth activity. He became a member of First Baptist Church in Notus, Idaho.
After graduating from high school in 1972, John attended The College of Idaho for a year. During one summer Randy Cook, a student at Faith, did his internship at the church in Notus. Through Randy's influence, John decided to attend Faith. Another influence in his decision was Dr. David Nettleton who spoke in the church during this time. John arrived at Faith in the fall of 1973.
While at Faith John played on the JV basketball team. The girl who would become his wife was a cheerleader and needed some help with some athletic banquet decorations. She saw a group of basketball players and asked them to light the candles on the tables. She did not even know John's name, but that was their first meeting.
Two weeks later when John was working in the concession stand, he saw Susan and asked her to the spring play. She agreed and they doubled with another couple and went to Pauline's Pizza after the play.
They parted ways that summer and communicated only a little. In the fall of 1974 they came back to school and dated on and off. Susan graduated in the spring of 1975. She tried to ignore John, but he was persistent.
In the fall of 1975 Susan went to work at Regular Baptist Press in the Chicago area. She came back during that school year to visit her cousin who was a student at Faith and saw John with another girl. That made her jealous!
From that point on she realized he was special to her. They were engaged in February of 1976 and married in July of that year.
The newly weds lived in Ankeny because John had one more year at Faith. Susan worked at Faith that year. John graduated in May of 1977. After another year in Ankeny, they moved to Valparaiso, Indiana, where they served as relief house parents for two years.
The happy couple came back to Ankeny in 1980, and John was offered the position of head of the Faith security team. He spent 14 years working security and maintenance here at Faith. During this time John completed a physical education degree from Iowa State University. He then taught at Grandview Park Baptist School for two years.
In 1996 John began working for Gilchrist Jewett lumber company in Ankeny. After another job, he returned to Gilchrist Jewett where he still works.
Our couple has been serving at Ankeny Baptist Church since 1977 with two brief periods away for other ministries. John has served as a deacon, missions committee chairman, softball coordinator, choir member, Awana leader, Sunday School teacher, and assistant to the financial secretary. In all these ministries he has distinguished himself as a faithful servant of the Lord.
John and his wife have four children: Mark, Nancy, Beth, and Karen. Beth is a 2010 Faith grad and Karen attended here one year.
Several key words describe our nominee: Caring, sensitive, persistent, serving, faithful. Since he came to Faith in 1973, this school has been a big part of his life. The Faith Alumni Association is happy to award John Javaux the 2014 male Alumnus of the Year award.

click above for high-res images of the 2007 Mazdaspeed3
After the second or third hard right-hander, there was a noticeable lack of conversation in the car. Brad, my intrepid photog friend, grew quiet as I caned the Mazdaspeed3 through corner after corner, increasing the pace each time, braking later and laying into the throttle sooner. With the LSD working overtime, the handling bar continued to move until finally the howl coming from the front tires evolved into understeer. A quick lift off the throttle tucked the nose in without drama and then the quest to find the limits began anew.
I turned to ask my camera-clutching companion if all was right on that side of the car. He nodded in the affirmative and the fun continued. Mile after mile of twists and undulations were dispatched without complaint. When we finally pulled off to take stock, both of us were convinced that Mazda's 'Speed team is one of the best in-house tuners in the biz. Not particularly because of the MS3's prodigious power, but because its creators took the already competent 3 and created a cohesive package that ticks off all the right boxes for the enthusiast on a budget.

Granted, we're a little late to the game. We've seen enough Mazdaspeed3s on the road to know that the combination of price and performance has landed it on the shortlists of people looking for a competent corner carver with a healthy dose of practicality. But we weren't content to assume that the MS3 was just another valid option for speed merchants with $25k burning a hole in their pocket. We had to see for ourselves, so when our Sunlight Silver Metallic tester found its way to the Autoblog Garage, we almost forgot to lock the door before we made our way to the nearest desolate road.
One of the more appealing aspects of the MS3 is its understated exterior. Only those in the know, or people able to scope out the Mazdaspeed3 badge on the hatch, will be able to tell that this is more than the standard five-door model. Mazda is intent, however, on making its 'Speed models standout from its lesser siblings, albeit in some very subtle ways. The hood is a bit taller, with a steeper rake angling towards the headlamps that accommodates extra cooling ducts for the intercooler and turbo, the front fenders are a bit wider and the front fascia gets a deeper air dam with restyled fog lamps. Making your way out back, passing the ten-spoke 18x7-inch wheels, you'll find a beefier rear spoiler perched above the rear window and a mildly restyled bumper with a larger exhaust tip.
On the inside, Mazdaspeed-emblazoned doorsills tie in nicely with the matching brushed-aluminum pedals, while the chunky steering wheel found on the standard Mazda3 is left intact (with some added red stitching) and fitted with redundant audio system controls. Our tester came in Grand Touring trim, which includes rain-sensing wipers, a Bose premium auto system with a six-disc, in-dash CD changer, LED taillights and Xenon headlights that allow you to adjust the angle of their projection with a dash-mounted scroll-wheel. The fit and finish inside is standard economy car fare; not quite as good as the Honda Civic, but considerably better than the Lancer we tested last year. The heavily bolstered seats specific to the MS3 are perfect in both their dimensions and execution, particularly the optional leather fitted to the sides proving that Mazda's engineers know that slipping and sliding is mutually exclusive to corner-carving fun.
While interior and exterior appointments deserve note, it's the DISI 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-four, revised suspension and chassis tweaks that inspired our call to Mazda PR. The MS3's engine seems to get the majority of the press, but it's little more than a slightly revised version of the same mill fitted to the CX-7 CUV and Mazdaspeed6. That means 263 hp and 280 lb.-ft. of torque routed to the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission equipped with a mechanical limited slip differential. We'll get to how that works on the road in a minute, but the chassis improvements were what impressed the most.
It's hard to see under the acres of plastic fitted inside the engine bay, but if you were to strip it all away you'd find that the front strut towers were beefed up and tied into the firewall to boost torsional rigidity, while reinforced lateral links underneath reduce roll and increase steering feel. The combination of new dampers and springs drop the hatch by 10mm, which is relatively insignificant from an appearance standpoint, but when matched with the larger front and rear anti-roll bars and 18-inch rollers, the changes in handling are a revelation compared to the base model.
There's a bit of consternation around the Autoblog offices about how well the Mazdaspeed3 handles the daily rigors of getting from one place to another. A particularly lively debate ensued in the halls of an LA hotel that pitted Führer Neff and yours truly against each other, with the former complaining about his back, while the latter insisted that it was entirely livable with no Chiro work required. Then again, I'm the idiot that drives Project MR2 around on a 6/8 kg spring setup, so my opinion could be somewhat askew. Regardless, jounce and rebound might be a bit much when navigating pothole-strewn roads, but it's firm in all the right ways and when things turn twisty, the MS3 is an absolute masterpiece.
During our time with the 3, we made regular pilgrimages to our favorite roads, and in one case spent time jockeying with a mildly-tuned WRX. The Mazda hung with the Subie in all but the trickiest of bends, easily keeping up on the straights and doing more than holding its own under braking thanks to the upgraded single-piston calipers, 12.6-inch front rotors and Potenza RE050 tires. Fade was non-existent up until a particularly demanding stretch of road where short bursts of acceleration were followed by repeated threshold braking. After a quick cool-down drive that lasted all of a half-mile, everything was back up to snuff and the punishing continued.
Now, onto the hotly contested issue of torque-steer. Mazda's team of engineers did an admirable job of employing some techno tweaks to limit power in first and second gears. Since output is based on the amount of steering dialed in, we made three separate launches on a less than perfect road with the steering wheel pointed dead ahead. With the traction control enabled, the power restrictions set by the ECU were noticeable, but it allowed the Mazda to dart off the line with a minimum of wheel spin and a few twitches in the wheel. With the electronic nannies defeated, it was a smoky mess, providing plenty of forearm exercise. While traveling around bends, laying into the throttle in second and third did little to upset the MS3's composure, but if the tire is in close proximity to anything resembling a rut in the road, it's advised that both hands are on the wheel.
With that out of the way, we can't speak highly enough of the engine. Even with the performance limitations employed to prevent simultaneous tire destruction and unintended hedge trimming, the direct-injected 2.3-liter turbo is an absolute hoot. Power comes on strong down low, with a bit of lag before 2,500 rpm, and then races to the 6,500 rpm redline. The only complaint is that the last 500 rpm are completely devoid of forward momentum, so shifts between 5,500 and 6,000 rpm became the norm. From the feel of it, we're assuming it's the engine outrunning the turbo, something that could be rectified by those brave enough to begin making changes underhood.
Any modifications to the Mazdaspeed3, however, could easily corrupt a vehicle that strikes a perfect balance between lively and livable. In the end, the MS3 is considerabley more than the sum of its impressive parts. It handles the daily rigors without complaint and offers up the type of performance that can only be had with extensive tuning and considerable cash.

The Dark Night Of The Souls Lyrics - Obtained Enslavement
[Music: Heks/Words: Døden]
Then came the dark night of the souls.
A mystery veiled in secrets.
Every strike of the moon was followed
By suffering in every sense of the word.
On the seventh month of the year
The sun turned away.
Then came forth
- a world forcing every man to run away from
All but honour.
A chapter of His memory was about to
Be written in blood.
Corrupted minds lead to moral abuse
- a people were lost.
Though there were stars all over,
None could be sighted.
It existed in the shadows.
It worked alone and through every being.
Death was no option
- still many fell.
A rage grew within.
Riots swallowed every sense.
Women giving birth to the spawn of their
Men drowning in the blood of their
Children feeding upon children with a blaze in their
Hearts transformed to salt,
burned its way through the flesh
and disappeared.
Being the company of beauty.
No one knew what was coming.
Revelations passed through the land,
But no man seeked the answers
Since all were dying to breath
The air of the soulblight

ECPI University was pleased to host Virginia Beach Mayor Will Sessoms today for one of his mayoral roundtables. Today's discussion: encouraging manufacturing in Virginia Beach, most notably education for young people and workforce development.
The National Minority Technology Council (NMTC) has presented its Chairman's Award for Excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Education to Paul Nussbaum, Campus Director of Academic Affairs at the Richmond, VA campus of ECPI University.
The award is given in recognition of Mr. Nussbaum's leadership in the creation of the Teachers Teaching Teachers program offered by ECPI. It was presented yesterday at the U.S. News STEM Solutions Leadership Summit in Dallas, TX.
Teachers Teaching Teachers is a STEM program that assists local public school teachers gain their re-certification and also deliver STEM to the classroom. These classes are heavily subsidized by ECPI University to make them affordable to the teachers. More importantly, the coursework includes term projects in which the teachers create tools that they can immediately use in their classroom. For example, the recently completed Storyboarding for Animation class required teachers go beyond pictures and movies to create interactive web pages that students can click on and actively control.
[Read more...]
Two ECPI University Students – Chris Meier and Doug Walters – were among eight students selected from four colleges and universities to participate in Dominion Enterprises' (DE) Annual Hackathon. The competition is designed to challenge students to create new and innovative Facebook applications.
Hackathon participants devoted two days to building apps using technology from Facebook, Heroku and DE's own diverse group of online brands. They worked alongside programmers, product developers, and marketing staff from DE, representing market-leading brands such as For Rent, Homes.com, Boats.com, Cycle Trader, Powersports Network, and The Employment Guide.
Doug Walters Team – Foxtrot Bravo – won Most Market Ready and Best in Show. They built a Facebook app called "Plan and Post" that allows you to schedule birthday wishes for friends, in case you don't sign in on a given day to say "Happy Birthday."
Former Congressman Steve Gunderson just toured ECPI University's Virginia Beach campus and came away thoroughly impressed. Appointed president of the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities (APSCU) earlier this year, Gunderson is conducting a fact-finding tour to collect information on best practices among member institutions.
Said Gunderson following his meeting with faculty and students, "I am going to call my friends at the White House and ask them to tell the President that if he wants to see a university that really approaches STEM education in a meaningful way, that consistently produces graduates with skills desperately needed in today's economy and effectively serves veterans and people of color, he should come visit ECPI."
President Obama has made it a priority to support efforts to improve education in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). ECPI University President Mark Dreyfus says previous government efforts, while well-intentioned, have failed to focus on what's really important. "Every bit as important as the curriculum is the method of delivery," says Dreyfus. "ECPI's hands-on approach blends knowledge and classroom learning in a way that resonates with all types of learners and produces graduates who can apply that knowledge the moment they enter the workplace."
With a large skills gap and many unfilled jobs in the nation's increasingly automated manufacturing sector, many employers are now looking to educators to step forward and help them address a growing problem: with a significant percentage of manufacturing technologists preparing to retire in the next 10 years, who will replace them? Steve Gunderson believes schools like ECPI University have a great deal to offer. He says "we need to change the conversation and set in place a plan to meet America's skill demands. If we succeed, we will not only heal our ailing economy but re-establish a vibrant middle class."
If life is a gift, then Chris Lassiter demonstrates each and every day that he is possessed with an abundance of gratitude. He entered the Charlotte Campus' Network Security program as a fresh high school graduate. When he arrived, he was typical of most traditional college students. To pay his way through school, he balanced a full time job at Wendy's with his class schedule and homework responsibilities.
Half way through the program, Chris became very ill, was diagnosed with stage 2 cancer and was forced to withdraw from school. This experience would be terrifying for anyone but was especially so for someone so young. After a six month hiatus, Chris returned to class with a new found drive and maturity seldom found in people his age; and his performance during the last half of his program foreshadowed coming success.
After completing his externship in 2010, Chris interviewed for a position on campus, and it was quickly apparent to all concerned that he stood head and shoulders above all other candidates. "Chris has a fantastic combination of people skills, abilities and motivation," says Help Desk Administrator Supervisor Mike Martin. "He comes to my office and says 'hey Mike, I was thinking….,' and what follows is almost always a great idea for improving our operations or his own performance. He is truly an outstanding employee."
With a talent for troubleshooting, this Help Desk Administrator is always searching for solutions. Possessed of the "I want to do more" attitude, Chris is the personable face of IT that students and faculty meet. Some of his duties include helping with password resets, phone support and software/hardware maintenance campus-wide. It is his enthusiasm for going beyond what is required, however, that makes him exceptional.
Quiet and understated, Chris becomes animated when discussing some of the money-saving work-overs he has implemented at the Charlotte campus, claiming he is just "tinkering here and there." One of his more notable projects is the configuration and installation of FOG, a program that can distribute and install software to all the school computers simultaneously and remotely. FOG eliminates the need to service each machine separately, saving time and money. For a campus that uses extensive technology in addition to computers, streamlining maintenance and troubleshooting service adds up fast.
Chris Lassiter is an example of the enthusiasm, dedication and pursuit of excellence that ECPI students bring with them. His advice to new students: Don't get behind and don't miss class!

Multiple Myeloma Lawsuit
Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects the plasma cells in the blood. The condition is progressive and is often fatal within 3 years of diagnosis. Multiple myeloma affects the plasma cells in the blood stream, the cells which are responsible for producing antibodies to protect the body from infection. The condition causes the development and growth of a large number of abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow. These abnormal plasma cells are unable to function properly and have the ability to reproduce rapidly, crowding out healthy blood cells and weakening the body's natural defenses. Multiple myeloma can also spread throughout the body and affect other organs, causing damage and decreasing the organ's effectiveness.
It is estimated that 5 out of every 100,000 individuals in the United States will develop multiple myeloma within their lifetime. There are nearly 15,000 new cases of the condition diagnosed annually and there are around 50,000 individuals living with the condition in the United States today. Multiple myeloma is the second most common cancer in the world, representing 1% of all diagnosed cases of cancer and 2% of all cancer deaths. Individuals are typically diagnosed with the condition around the age of 68 with less than 1% of diagnosed cases occurring in individuals under the age of 40. Men are affected by the condition with more frequency than women and the risk of developing the condition is slightly higher for those of African-American heritage.
Multiple myeloma generally presents no symptoms at onset and a large percentage of individuals are diagnosed with the condition before any symptoms of the condition have appeared. Some cases of multiple myeloma are discovered after the results of a routine blood test indicate abnormal blood cell levels in the circulatory system. When symptoms do appear, they are generally mild and can be confused with the symptoms of a wide variety of less serious illnesses. As the condition progresses, more severe signs of the condition may develop. Individuals who have developed multiple myeloma may experience hypercalcemia, renal damage, anemia, and an increased risk of contracting an infection. Multiple myeloma also causes damage to the bones, weakening them and causing osteoporosis. This bone damage can be detected primarily in the ribs, skull, pelvis, and spine of an affected individual.
Multiple myeloma is considered incurable, but there are many different treatment options that can help an individual manage the condition and retain their quality of life. Although the average survival rate for the condition is only 3 years, there are several new treatments available that may help individuals live for a longer amount of time and improve their health to a reasonable degree. The reason why some individuals develop multiple myeloma is still unknown, but some possible risk factors have been identified as contributors to the development of the condition. Researchers have pinpointed a number of physical, genetic, and environmental factors that may increase an individual's risk of developing the condition, including exposure to carcinogenic chemicals such as benzene and exposure to radiation, but the exact cause of the condition remains unknown.

Difficulties of the modern apprentice
Apprentices are now paid more - but will that mean more stick with their trade?
Imagine what would happen if a university program or public course had a one-in-two dropout rate. It wouldn't be long before it was discontinued. And yet that lack of success is precisely what's happening with apprenticeships in Australia, with half of apprentices failing to complete their training.
This is a problem because, for starters, it's costing billions of dollars. The NSW government released figures in 2011 estimating the hit to the economy over the next decade would amount to $3.5 billion – and that's just in one state.
Much of those costs will be shouldered by businesses. The loss of productivity, the shortage of labour, and a failure to get a return on investment inevitably impact the business owner, and this makes many of them reticent to give other apprentices a similar opportunity. Burnt by the experience, they're reluctant to take another chance.
So why the high dropout rate? One reason is the low wage. This was rectified stunningly last month, with the Fair Work Commission increasing the pay for apprentices by between $70 and $100 a week. (The difference depends on whether or not the apprentice has a year 12 education.)
Unsurprisingly, business groups have been hyperventilating ever since at the significant rise, but if the commission's decision goes some way in lifting retention rates across the country, surely that's a good thing for employers and apprentices alike?
The problem, though, is that its effect might be minimal because there's a stubborn bias in favour of years. This means rewards and progressions are determined by the length of time someone spends in an apprenticeship rather than on an apprentice's ability to do the job. This demoralises those who know they're talented but are held back by an antiquated system that values time over competence.
A similar trend occurs in the corporate world where job advertisements frequently demand a certain number of years' experience. This neglects the truth that the duration of someone's employment has no bearing on their capacity to do the job. An employee with half the experience, in reality, could seriously be twice as good.
The Gillard government cottoned onto this peculiarity last year and subsequently allocated millions of dollars to help employers fast track apprentices who are ready earlier than expected. Hopefully this will continue under the pro-business Abbott government, although a sinister 'budget emergency' could complicate things.
In the meantime, the high dropout rate is likely to persist because money is possibly not the core issue. The issue could be cultural.
Gaining a university education has become the choice du jour for many a high school student. Rather than slumming it out in a low-paying trade, increasing numbers of them opt instead for life on a university campus where the promise of a prosperous and fulfilling career is tantalisingly marketed.
A trade, in comparison, just doesn't match up to the intense focus on getting a degree, billed as essential to competing in a market economy. The prevailing belief is that if you miss out, you'll be left behind.
As a result, gone are the days when your average apprentice was a year 10 school leaver. Today it's a different story with one study finding 42 per cent of new apprentices are now older than 25.
Clearly, people embarking on a trade are no longer wet behind the ears. They're bringing with them qualifications and experience inconceivable in decades past. That's why the decision to increase their wage last month was justified.
So even though you probably missed it – I certainly did – last Friday was National Tradesman Day. It was a 24-hour period dedicated to forgetting the late arrivals, unreturned phone calls and broken promises that characterise the modern tradie. But perhaps the real thought should really have been with their apprentices.
Have you encountered any apprenticeship challenges? What were they?

The reason why alot of younger kids do not complete a degree is because of the schools. If a kid struggles at high school they are told to get a trade, there is a stigma that trades are for dummies. This is less and less true everyday. Take a car for example, one could argue that 30 yrs ago it was an easy trade to become a mechanic, as cars were a much simpler machine. However the modern car is not, they contain a network of computers, one for the engine, gearbox, abs, radio, ignition, lights, etc etc. This makes understanding how the system works as a whole a lot more complicated and alot of these kids (and older mechanics) just don't have the mental power to comprehend how this works. The training is another issue, the tafe and private provider systems are a joke! I have a trade, and hate that people look down at me for it as though i am second class, yet i earn more than any of my degree having friends by a considerable amount

I don't think it was easier to be a mechanic 30 years ago, one actually had to diagnose problems, figure out how to fix them, and even machine parts with a lathe and what-not. These days the EMS tells the mechanic what's wrong and which part to replace. It's expensive because the diagnostic systems are proprietary (end users don't have access to them) and manufacturers charge what they like for parts which are just slotted in and out.

The tertiary education sector has out-marketed the vocational education sector for a long long time. These days there's no logical reason for that. Apprentices get paid to complete their training, they don't come out with a big HECS bill at the end, and their wages and employment prospects are significantly better than a lot of the university graduates. It's taking a cultural shift for people to realise this but it is happening. There's more people looking for apprenticeships than there are apprenticeships available. The availability of apprenticeships is a real choke point and usually follows the economic cycle. That completion rates are so low is also another problem. From my perspective, we need smarter people in the trades.

""A trade, in comparison, just doesn't match up to the intense focus on getting a degree,""
This is obviously written by a person who does not understand trades. Firstly being in a trade isn't slumming it and the focus is probably greater than a degree. A person doing a trade attends 8 hours a week at TAFE for 4 years, has to study out of hours and has to work full time in a job. They also have to constantly upgrade their qualification and have a lifetime of re qualifying with various agencies. Their qualification can also lapse without paying annual fees. A Uni student attends 12 contact hours a week, doesn't work full time and has all the time in the world to study. Slumming it at home. A good trade's person can earn $150,000 a year. The average starting salary after 4 years is $70,000. In comparison the average starting salary of a University graduate is $45,000. They rarely get to $150,000. When I did a trade with Telstra the minimum was year 12 the same as entry to a University. That trade set me up for life. I can work for anyone or I can work for myself. I can put an ad in the paper and get work tomorrowor. I can take a mnaagement position or I can take a trade or contract position. I can join emergency services fire and police because they prefer trades. Even in a recession I can get work. A degree qualified person cannot do trade work ever without that all important apprenticeship no matter how many degrees they get. They're not allowed to but I can do a degree qualified job without a degree and do. It's that simple.

Can you please explain the article for me to understand .....
How are employers or tax payers losing heaps of money(apart from tax payers entering work system).... First, employers often get paid money to house apprentices. And of course employers get to employ people at well below market rates; expecting it to be so. But then if there is a shortfall, they just get in 'unskilled' labour or contract people to get jobs done (at a little bit less in the pocket).
Also what is the difference between people who attempt Uni, TAFE or Apprenticeships & then drop out?
The costs of all these things has been increasing, the complexity/burden has been increasing radically & we wonder why we don't get as many people in or through the system.
For some reason ... certain governments think that by raising the cost of education, treating it like a company, cutting service locations its going to help? Govs (especially libs) have been bastardising our system for a long time.
What happened to the free education right that previous generations grew up with ... oh they took it for granted & then with their skills & ignorance, got into power situations & then said: "let them pay for everything, why shouldn't they".
I would love to do many additional courses .... you go onto the TAFE website & see how many courses are not being offered at any locations .... why even have them on there? Seriously!
Then of the courses that are offered ... see the few options of where they are located .... hahaha what a joke!
And many Universities with all their tax payer funding seem to enjoy giving greater preference to upfront full fee paying overseas students ... Ah the land of opportunity.

Degree pfff - you forget that an apprenticeship means both getting paid (at least something) for your education, and having a very likely job at the end of it.
A degree means racking up a significant debt, getting paid nothing so most likely having to work close to a full-time equivalent job while studying full-time. All of that without a guaranteed job at the end of it. Easy right?
The reason there's a fair chunk drop out of apprenticeships is because they're nobodies going nowhere and haven't been able to complete anything ever in their life.
It's hilarious to hear my good mate tradies about their sickies, dodgy jobs, early knock offs - all the while getting paid for their education and at the end, earning considerably more than I do despite having a double degree. I'm surprisingly not bitter about this, they generally work hard and do a job I wouldn't want to, but I DO hate the anti-elitism in their ranks against formally educated people.

@Pedro, ummm how to begin, i think you got confused with earning a living and doing some life changing work such as designing medical device, aerospace applications and other exotic projects like artificial intelligence. Now try to get in to those places without a degree!
If earning a living is all there is to a career, does that mean we should all aspired to be brothel owners (i heard they make a lot of money too).
No offence your view are being too simplistic, lastly internet wasn't build by tradie was it? Did Sir Tim Berner-Lees make alot of money out of it?

"Imagine what would happen if a university program or public course had a one-in-two dropout rate. "
I don't have to imagine. This is exactly the case for PhD courses in Australia. PhD candidates are highly motivated, high-achieving adults who have graduated near the top of their under-graduate and Honors classes. Those lucky enough to have a scholarship are paid about the same as a first year apprentice. Most are in their mid 20s or older, and many are struggling to support families.
Like apprentices, PhD students actively contribute to the work of their employers while earning their stripes: they are essential to the nation's research output. When they graduate, their earnings tend to be lower than those of qualified tradies.

This is from Burda Magazine, their new February 2014 issue. It's pattern #135. This shirt is a milder version of one of the many garments you can find in all of those Japanese draping books— most of which are sized for petite bodies or aren't ideal for my figure or lifestyle. Here we have a 3/4 length raglan sleeved top with a fun 'bag' or misplaced cowl-like drape on the front.
I used a rayon knit that's super drapey and so soft. You can see how I graded the pattern to fit me and more photos on my blog Kathy Sews.
I have a tutorial here on how to make the drape in front. It includes how to grade out for larger waist/hips beyond the sizes offered in the pattern.
I have a tutorial here on how to lengthen the top as well since it does run quite short in back.
