There were both types of high schools available within the public school system when I was growing up. And even at my Catholic school, there were extra classes like Wood shop, Metal shop and Home Economics. What was unfair back then was that those classes were restricted by gender; I liked building things and my father had already taught me how, but no girls were allowed in Wood shop. So I took Home Ec as an elective, but I also already knew how to cook and sew.

Growing up, the two public school systems I was in had an option to transfer to a "vo-tech" school. I think it served several suburban towns. I'd be surprised if a lot of public school systems don't have that kind of option.
... These tales of impending doom allowed the Golgafrinchans to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population. The story was that they would build three Ark ships. Into the A ship would go all the leaders, scientists and other high achievers. The C ship would contain all the people who made things and did things, and the B Ark would hold everyone else, such as hairdressers and telephone sanitisers. They sent the B ship off first, but of course, the other two-thirds of the population stayed on the planet and lived full, rich and happy lives until they were all wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone.

@AthrillatheHunt okay to confirm when a person reaches retirement age (currently 65, I think it should be 60 to allow livable wage jobs, but. . . A person can only serve up to 2 terms over the age of retirement or forfeit their retirement package and/or be forced to retire).
