Trump administration budget plan would cut $238M from job training program serving low-income young adults

I can't believe I'm about to defend a Trumpist, but they're right.

Job Corps is a joke, and the training and high school level education are nearly useless, unless you consider a bricklaying or CNA student getting a job flipping burgers at BK to be successful training and employment in their field. That's success in Job Corps' eyes. The training I recieved as a computer & mobile device repair student was so shoddy and out of date that when I got employed in my field (no thanks to Job Corps), I had to retrain with my employer like I had never done any schooling in the first place.

Many centers are drug, sex, and crime infested shitholes. Drugs were openly sold on campus. Fights were a near daily occurence. Sex was a constant despite being against the program's rules, it was a common sight to see a female student masturbating in front of her dorm's window. Staff members knew, some of the male ones would sit in the courtyard and watch.

A student at my center was hacked to death with a fucking machete by other students that sold drugs there.

The administration knew they were selling drugs and didn't give a fuck. I know they knew because I told them about it. That wasn't even the first murder on a Job Corps campus that year.
