Maybe it wouldn’t be too bad if the community colleges taught kids how to be electricians, plumbers, welders and such. We have an abundance of kids out there that aren’t really cut out for advanced college courses but there is a need for skilled tradesmen/women and I think I’d rather have them get a good paying skill than end up turning to heroin and/or communism.

We have one kid at work who came over from an HVAC company, and in all honestly he’s dumber than a bag of hammers. Even before he hit his 90 days, he’s already on his last chance letter.
Yeah, free community college is only going to worsen the shortage of good people in the trades.

Hint: there equal number of kids not cut out for manual labor, skilled or not.
I nearly failed high school in the mid-80s due these industrial arts classes. No interest even at 15 to do any manual labor.
