I was fortunate to go to high school in Portland, Oregon. At Benson Tech we had a fully equipped machine shop, automotive shop, electrical shop, foundry, aviation shop, print shop, pattern making shop, radio station, sheet metal shop, carpentry shop and welding shop. You could major in any of the above or go for a college prep loaded with math and sciences.
Benson graduated 18 year olds trained and ready to go. Alas that was 1959. It was boys only then. I haven't kept up with what is going on there today.
I'll say this, a graduate from Benson was in demand. At night the school was filled with 18 to 25 year old students that went to the typical high schools in town and couldn't support themselves after graduation.
What I learned at Benson helped me through out life.
