I think the system should be identifying those kids and finding something they are good at. Our education system does a pretty bad job of that, and that's part of what I was referring to earlier about math and sciences. If a kid has that inclination, put them on that track and give them the tools. If the kid is more on a pushing broom track, that's fine, too, put them on that track and give them a broom.

That's going to take a much different approach than we currently have.

Our school district has a good career technical center attached to the high school.  My daughter will graduate this year and has all her hours and already passed her test to be a cosmetologist.

Saved about $18,000 in post high school education.

And she probably could have done anything after high school but she was exposed to this and loves it.

My son will be a freshman and wants to go to college just not sure for what yet.  After a tour of the CTC he is thinking about going up there next year for electrical engineering.

Again, he's smart enough to go in various fields if he wants.  But I'll always encourage someone to get a trade if they can.
