Mike Rowe testifies before US Senate about the skilled trades (by suenoir).

His argument illustrates what I think is the biggest problem with the public school system in the US: it’s myopic focus on convincing people to go to college, and convincing them that there is no meaningful life available for people who do not, creates a sad state of apathy for those who do not enjoy purely academic pursuits, or work that involves staring at a computer all day long. We need to acknowledge and respect the value of skilled labor again.
