I was most interested in the responses about TAFE - clearly times have changed and students are not aware of the value of the TAFE system. The training and education at TAFE can set students up for a rewarding lifestyle. I felt the responses demonstrated a lack of understanding of education and negative attitude towards the status of TAFE occupations. Is this a reflection on how the federal government funds "other" learning organisations and doesn't prioritise the TAFE system.

It is certainly interesting to consider how views about TAFE might have changed over time and in relation to particular occupations and industries.
