Do you have a problem with the title “Vocational” or “Occupational” teacher? Why or why not?

I was a student during the big change over from "vocational" to "career and tech" in my area and it was a hotly contested issue because previous generations had negative associations with "vocational". As a teacher now though I don't have a preference and I think many have gotten past the old "vocational student" = "not college bound" stereotype.
