High Tech, Lucrative Careers At This Wyoming College

TV host Mike Rowe had it right when he pointed to the many manufacturing opportunities available to young people who are looking for a great career.

College is not for everyone.

There is a lot of money and creative rewards to be had in manufacturing.

That is why once a year Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, Wyoming opens its doors to the public, and those searching for a career, to see what is possible.

According to some instructors at LCCC, most of their students are older.

They would like to see a younger student body.

Manual labor is not so manual any more.

Much of what used to be done by hand is now done with the help of computer-driven machines.

So, if someone is dreaming of a tech job, they can have it, all the while building and designing new things.

Over the past few decades, schools like this have been overlooked in favor of an expensive Ivy League education.

But today they are growing in popularity, and for good reason.

Going to school in some places like LCCC costs a lot less than going to a major university.

A student will also graduate sooner, with immediate job prospects and an unbelievably good starting salary.

Students can learn milling and 3D printing.

There are even advancements in robotic automation for manufacturing.

Even science fiction becoming fact was on display.

Imagine creating, programming, and operating things like this robotic dog.
