Some of the smartest went into plumbing, electricity, etc. etc. I saw what happened in the schools when they did away with vocational education. Now with common core . . .even the brainiest have been dummied down. I always ask, “How were the skyscrapers ever built without the Common Core curriculum?” It was and still is the COVID of education in our public schools.
Yup
Some arguably say they are even smarter, not being burdened with a lot of college debt....
