While a computer is nice, it's not that effective for those troubled areas if ya know.......

I think it's a matter of priorities. I'd rather see the school teaching how to mix mortar, lay bricks, fit plumbing joints, square a foundation, and the science associated with that stuff than to hope that the interest is there to run a computer. It's not.

A stone mason in my area earns $30 per hour. His laborers earn $18 per hour. He has work scheduled two years out. And by the way his laborers are mexicans because nobody here can mix mortar or fit stone. Last I knew, computer work was getting hard to come by.

Good points. I think in 18 years there should be time enough to learn it all.

We don't know what the future holds for certain jobs. We do know that computers are not going away.
