Roger’s Answer

Mainly because most vocational schools are proprietary schools - meaning privately run for-profit schools. Where you are sounds like a private school. If your a Nevada resident, is UNLV about the same cost as Reno? What state schools are in Carson? (Not the high spot of the world, I realize lol, but it's only a few years.)
Depending on the field, look into adult education programs at state and community colleges in Nevada because in-state tuition rates are a great deal less than private schools. Also, look into adult or continuing education programs offered by the various public school districts in Nevada (and possibly other states). Many of those train for various trades and career paths, from electrical to cosmetology.
