It is going to get very ugly. We need jobs for those who can’t or won’t benefit from college.

I'll be the first to say my first introduction to the rigors of college was a failure, and it was my fault. But, I took stock of what was available to me at the time and joined the military. I learned a good trade, got supervisory and management experience, and was able to travel the world (hence the moniker). But if I had not been able to join the military, there were several Vo-Tech schools that were courting me. Being a tradesman is currently a very good option. The local Vo-Tech boasts a job placement rate of over 80% for its graduates.
