Actually, the St Johns bridge was built as it is because it was lighter
and therefore less expensive than the older Sellwood type.
It's construction was completed early and under budget.
But it's artistic beauty was not requisite for a suspension bridge design
While some students entering 4-year colleges may be there for some sort of job training kind of experience,
I think you see such attitude and experience more at the community college level where costs are lower
and the age of the students tend to be older.
Many students at community colleges are already working...
at jobs they either don't like or they are specifically in need of job training,
OR they are students taking college credit courses for financial reasons (e.g., still live at home).
