There was an article in Car and Driver last year talking about this too. Many schools don't offer VOTECH classes anymore as many deem them dirty jobs or they just don't have the funding anymore because of cutbacks or putting all the funding into national testing .... many times forcing a square peg into a round hole. Not everyone is smart enough or wants to go to college. We will always need blue collar workers as well as white collar workers. Its the ying to the yang. It does bother me that people want to bash VOTECH or other non college route careers. Especially when these same people cant change their own oil, cook their own food, nor bang a nail with a hammer with out direction. They are dependent on the hand that feeds.
I always look forward to the yearly Pop Mech issue of the 100 things every man should know how to do. Some people might be surprised by the list.
