So true!
Having just watched a major home renovation I’m impressed with the skills, knowlege and innovation by contractor- tradesmen; electricians, plumbers etc., Mostly young white guys and older, legal immigrants. They need math, chemistry and problem solving abilities. Many are self-employed entrepreneurs who take pride in their work and earn their income. Some have college degrees that are of no use - a few younger guys plan to return to school for engineering or architectural degrees. Better to love what you do and do it well than get an expensive indoctrination in Useless U.
Females now far outnumber males on college campuses.
