Btw, we are hiring experienced machinists, welders, and engineers. There are none to be had. Good time to be in business! Time to make hay while the sun is shining.
Agreed. I think it would be smart to resurrect the industrial arts classes in high schools, and get 35-50 percent of the students enrolled in these courses, to prep them. Instead we tell everyone that they need to go to college, which is BS. Then a bunch go off to college who aren't a good fit, spend 12-18 months drinking and getting laid, while going $20-30K in debt and then dropping out.
You can drink and get laid for a lot cheaper than that. Instead graduate from high school and enter an apprenticeship program, and in 12-18 months you're well on you way to having a nice career and a good skill set.
