One day the tide will turn - trade work will become saturated, lose its luster, and people will wish for a better future for their kids.

Of course, but that's going to take a couple of generations to happen.

Are you pushing college on your children? If so, why?

My kids are high class. Of course they will go to college.

Who uses the term “high class” anyway? Posers I guess.

No one can predict the future. Some might say liberal arts degrees are useless and should be eliminated. Right now parents are obsessed with math and STEM majors. If trade work looks like it’s becoming saturated then education will change with it.
