There is little VoTek training available to kids...

Yes, they need trainig for jobs that exist only in China and India. Until we address the "outsourcing problem", there is little need for those skills.

C'mon let's not exaggerate. You can't outsource jobs like auto mechanics, electrician, locksmiths, plumbing, etc.

When I need my car serviced, my wiring fixed, etc., I'm not going to call someone from India to do it.

I’m thinking, tho, of HVAC and so forth. The air conditioning companies here in LA are dying for good help, but people are not going into that field. The kids who are floundering in high school because they see no reason to learn higher math and academics would love to be working with their hands, I think.
