They are cutting things like FFA, wood and auto shop and that is just sad. Not every kid is cut out to go off and get a degree. Our society is made up of all walks of life, auto mechanics, sheet rockers, cooks et al.
I love the joke about a University Professor has a plumbing problem so he calls a Plumber.
The plumber gets there and spends about 15 minute fixing the guy's sink.
The Professor says "what do I owe ya"
The Plumber says " that will be $110.00"
The Professor says wait just a second, that is $440.00 dollars an hour, that is $3520,00 per day. I have a PHD in anthropology and I am tenured at one of the nations most prestigious universities and I don't make anywhere near that kind of money.
The plumber says " yep, that's why I left Harvard.
