What a great story! I bet her cooking was GOOD!

I must say, I take exception to your swipe at women not being able to discern between kitchen cabinets. When I needed kitchen cabinets, I looked for plywood box construction, dovetail joints and well-matched solid oak raised panel fronts. The joinery on the ones I purchased was exquisite, which is why they ended up in my kitchen. The roll-out shelves (featuring Accuride drawer slides) are a treat as well. They are truly premium cabinets.

I've been designing and building things since I'm a kid, although I didn't build my kitchen cabinets. But I sure knew what to look for. Don't disparage the design and building talents of women

——skills gap——

The piece fails to mention the real problem. The real problem is not school or college or training. The primary problem is motivation. Work is a drag.

To get the training or trade school involves being motivated to get up every day and go. The motivation includes no drugs or alcohol in the drug test. The cost of weeding out those who aren’t reliable or that do drugs is enormous.

This is essentially testimony I have received from those that hire workers some times known as blue collar workers.

Tho I believe you read 'sinister' where none was intended,
  it's good to hear that you found a set that suits, and that you're pleased .. cheers.
