” battle stereotypes of old, dirty factories “

In the case of Pratt in East Hartford, it’s not a stereotype.

The place is a pit.

Mike Rowe was right about reintroducing automotive, woodshop, welding, et cetera, to high school.

In my life this is the best job market I have ever seen. None others even come close to this. I wish it was like this in the 80’s when I graduated high school. Or in the late 80’s when I got out of the service.

Manchester High School students have visited Pratt & Whitney in Middletown where the United Technologies Corp. subsidiary manufactures jet engines,

I don't remember any manufacturing in Middletown. East Hartford was the main location, with some action in Rocky Hill, and Southington shut down. I think North Haven may have shut down as well. Cheshire had some action, but not manufacturing.

If you saw the movie "Forever Young", where Mel Gibson is air guy used in an experiment where his chamber is locked in for a few decades, that could have been in the East Hartford "M" Building. The site is a shell of its former self and if Mel Gibson were on ice, no one would know for an awfully long time.

Time to cleanse the unemployment rolls, the welfare rolls, and the deadbeat programs. Time to tighten down the screws on the requirements to receive public aid - if you are able-bodied - no more made-up excuses for sitting on a couch and drawing a “check”.

If they'd teach Economics in HS, the kids would be knocking down factory doors to avoid college they can't afford. There's a reason students aren't taught that debt is dumb.
