[quote=Anonymous][quote]We had some electrical work done in our house a year ago. The electrician owned his own company; older man. He was looking to hire more electricians, and he was willing to train them. But, most of the young adults who applied couldn't figure out fractions. He said he felt hopeless in this regard. He was overworked and wanted to retire and pass on his company to someone else, but things weren't looking good. So, even kids that are trade bound need better skills today.[/quote] He couldn't find anyone because they are all at college now. Going to college is the big push in high schools. More kids than ever are going to college both number wise and as a percentage of the graduates. There is a gap in the trades. Some kids may end up graduating college and then going into the trades because that is where there is money. It isn't real efficient though.[/quote]
