Tech schools have come of age in Florida.(South Florida Sun-Sentinel)
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. _ A tour of William H. Turner Technical Arts High School is like a walk through the history of vocational education.
At one end of the Miami school's campus is the agricultural science school, with its goats, chickens and greenhouses.

If they graduated, they faced low-wage jobs and a limited future.
Vocational education has changed. Students are now lining up to get in. And they're graduating to high-paying jobs in high-demand careers.
At the other end of the Turner campus, nursing-assistant students encircle Stan, the mechanical man. His plastic guts are filled with wires and sensors.
