This has long been known. Our country set up vocational schools (carpentry, auto mechanics, etc.) but then for some reason phased them out or diminished them. Probably lobbying from “higher” education

[lurked_for_a_decade]

Liability laws had more to do with the elimination of vocational curricula in public high schools and community colleges than anything else.

Also, the “automation” of significant numbers of manufacturing tools such as lathes, presses, mold injection, etc requires a fairly thorough grasp of algebra and geometry at a minimum and the ability to understand some fairly archaic programming skills. An auto mechanic requires some computer/electronic school and playing computer games does not impart those skills.

Too many of today's high school graduates can't read their own diploma or balance a check book.
