I've been saying this for years. Everybody wants a corner office and a six-figure salary -- but that can't happen (not enough corners). America has a stigma against "blue collar" jobs and its a shame.

Carpentry isn't going to off-shored. Auto mechanics aren't going away. We don't send our masonry work to China. Our houses won't be contructed in Bangalore.

There really are many good (fun and well-paying) jobs in America, and they aren't going anywhere. But, if everyone tries to be a web-designer they will end up flipping burgers and complaining that their skills are no good.

Fatherless boys...dont grow up working on cars, motorcycles, lawn mowers or go carts...

High Schools dont replace their antiquated machine shops with new equipment...or even spend as much money as they do on
New drama departments..

Tech schools waste more resources teaching remedial reading, math and science to those who didnt bother to study in High School and now have no basic skills or job skills...
So they get grants to go back to high school at the tech schools

In 1968, "about 20 percent of the jobs required a baccalaureate degree," he said. "In 2003, about 20 percent of the jobs require a baccalaureate degree. We're enamored of a degree that doesn't really pay."

---------------------------

Now, masters degrees are demanded, like Bush has. Masters certifiations exist on toilet paper rolls. There are more people with Ph.D.s than there were BS degrees during the '50s.

I'm retired now. In addition to having done graduate work at several major universities, I am an instrument level machinist at the Swiss level of precision as well as a design engineer. You can wipe your behand with machining skills in this country. The pompous MBAs in charge believe you are a second class citizen who shouldn't bet paid anything.

I dunno about the rest of the country but here in Vegas and Kingamn AZ the same things can be said about journeymen in all phases of construction.
There are very few people who have all the skills needed to qualify as a top notch mason, finish carpenter, tinknocker, ect, etc.
