Trump is pushing Trade schools

I think this is a great Idea. It won't be long until no one can do anything for themselves, and
they will be forced to pay big bucks to the skilled individuals that can do things.

I grew up with a WWII dad that did everything himself. Built our garage himself, etc..I am not as skilled, but I have always
swapped out water heaters, plumbing fixtures, electrical stuff like putting in ceiling fans, etc...

I believe in the near future trades people are going to be very wealthy.

With trade schools comes the reemergence of shop classes in high schools. those are huge for helping kids find what they're good at Especially automotive class and wood shop. Years back you signed up for shop class and kids would even come before and after school on their own accord to finish up projects that how much of the their interest was captured in learning new skills. Thats before the Dept of education started making cuts and those were the first cuts they made.

@Blackie Yeah, I remember all of that. Kids loved the wood shop and automotive class.

@Blackie I went to High School in the mid 70's In addition to Auto Shop and Wood shop we had Welding shop, Steel milling shop.

And foundry shop. I made sand cast molds, melted aluminum and poured the molten aluminum in the castings I made.

Over 50 years later, I still have the things I made in high school.
