They're going to trade and tech schools so they can make a living. In tech you need a certification, not a degree.

Curious to see white fertility rates vs. non-white as well (and broken out further).

I suspect white folks are having fewer kids relative to the rest of us - but I'm not sure by how much. Can't explain all of the gap in the article.

Depends. I maintain that the best tech jobs require neither. The interviewers say tell me what you've done and show me what you've built. Well, at least for computer/software jobs. Outside of computer/software, many engineering jobs require licensure, which is itself a form of certification that often requires a relevant degree.

The average white kid does not want to spend $50K to $70K to learn about trans history from some they or them. Just not worth it. You can certainly get away with something like that at Harvard or Columbia, but at the average college if just doesnt fly and the "customers" of these colleges are just walking away. Good for them.

(On a personal note: Joan C. Williams, a professor at the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco. I was at her wedding. She married a friend of mine from H.S. She was mentioned in the article.)
