A separate but similar problem is caused by the fact that our public high schools no longer provide much in the way of non-college technical education. Thus we are lacking plumbers, electricians, stone and tile worker, skilled construction workers, carpenters, etc. I see a lot of these jobs being filled by Latino immigrants or illegals, and blacks living in the same cities complaining they are unemployed.

I think Barry and Michoo pushed college...but there are other great careers that don’t require it—like plumbers, etc. I think they wanted to indebt the students to federal government for the student loans :(
