I’m considering going to technical college perhaps for barbering. I am not quite sure yet. My question is will technical colleges continue to add new programs and training as various occupations are lost to automation? I am not quite sure about barbering and the chance of this happening. Where there programs at Technical Colleges that don’t exist anymore?
?
Just DON'T THINK about a for-profit school for ANYTHING. They only want YOUR money or government GRANTS OR LOANS. Then you get a worthless diploma.
I doubt any extra courses v. automation will be offered in barbering. Even as a styalist, the profession should remain pretty much hands-on.

No matter how much technical schools change in the future, men are always going to need barbers.

Technical colleges today are a far cry from the limited vocational programs of the past. In addition to a host of traditional building trades, many tech schools teach everything from photography, to advanced electronics, to gourmet cooking. The programs do change with technology. My father had learned printing in a vocational school. The old style printing presses being long obsolete, nowadays printing students are taught how to use the current type of computerized graphics machines.
