It's been over 20yrs. since that time in H.S. and I've had many jobs. Last year I made six figures that again I can link directly to the influence and teaching that I learned in metal shop.
So what is the answer? If you have children in school today Make your feelings about the value of a tech ed option known to your local school board officials . Don,t wait until some administrator make the decision to eliminate these classes .
