I think it would be good for the high school systems to reinstate a modern version of "metal shop" and "wood Shop" back into their curriculums. There are very few trade schools left in the country, so college dropouts have nothing to fall back on, and if they are lucky enough to find a job, they have to trained there.? All kids cannot be employed in computer science, and there is a definite need for skilled operators in todays manufacturing world.
Just my humble opinion,
