Your son is very intelligent to "just say no" to an extremely expensive and ultimately worthless college degree. The most successful people will be those that repair things with their hands. You can't outsource that. And with our standard of living in the toilet, we will again be interested in repairing rather than replacing many items.
This explains the missing males in our colleges as fewer men see any future in higher education.

Astute observation. It explains a lot. And is very sad, no freightening.

Assuming that China doesn't make them so cheap that you just pitch the "thing" and buy a new one.
