We ought to re-think our approach to education and careers. I really like vocational education or apprentice programs. Yes, there are some things which are best learned by sitting in classrooms, or spending hours at the library. But most people don't get (and would not want) that kind of job.

Yes, and they have essentially removed the Shop programs from the high schools, at least here in California. There is little VoTek training available to kids, and many are well-suited to hands-on work and run screaming from the theoretical academic nonsense that passes for education today.
