I'm a big believe that the trades aren't pushed enough as a great career in high schools. The "University is Where It's At!" just doesn't apply to everyone, and know a few people who could probably be doing better in life if they had gone into the trades than toil at some low level clerical job. Doesn't Europe stream people into the trades via standardized testing?
Mike Holmes had a great column on this issue:
