Teens have become disillusioned by the shrinking job market. Some are opting not to go to college. They're deciding on promising alternatives. And they're excited. This is what they have to say.
With the tech sector and other big corporations firing thousands at a time, going back to the basics makes a lot of sense. They all seem very enthused about their training.
Many kids cannot afford college right now, this provides a good option for
earning a decent living.
I remember a time when going to Trade School was respected and I like the idea of trades being taught in high school now.
Kids are very aware of the changing job market and what AI is taking away from them in careers and earning potential.
I'm really glad vocational schools are coming back into vogue. Most high schools once taught woodworking, upholstery repair, or auto repair--but that was decades ago. Now it's all STEM, which doesn't teach kids how to be useful if the grid goes down.

Hopefully, we have a long time before bots are building homes and installing plumbing and electrical.
