[quote=Anonymous]More kids don't go that route because they either aren't counseled to do so, or they don't have access to the types of vocational programs that train people to do that type of work. It's a real shame. This idea that everyone should go to a 4-year liberal arts college is so misguided, and it's really setting us back as a country. When kids are in high school, part of their conversation with their parents, teachers, and guidance counselors should include the range of options after they graduate, including vocational schools (which we need to open more of). My FIL is an airplane quality control engineer. He says that all of his colleagues are in his 60s because there just aren't enough young people going into that field. Obviously it's not ideal if we don't have enough people making sure airplane parts are working properly ...[/quote]
