"These vocational jobs are the jobs of the future."

PL, Also the jobs of the past and present. People who can read and write and do some mathmatics have always been good and better at them as well as other professions. We need to educate children rather than train them as we do dogs and horses and apes. I have had highly placed officials tell me that "Truck drivers don't have to know how to read. They can use their computers". And, we are teaching children how to use calculators and punch symbols in order to get answers to problems. Leading to the pictures on MacDonalds cash registers. This rather than teaching the "Three Rs". And politically appointed bureaucrats will decide what professions each student is "suitable" for. This is stone cold EVIL!!! Peace and love, George.
