Agree 100%. Don't pay to send them to college so they can get a degree in Feminist Studies or Medival Literature, teach them to do things like you said. A friend of mine is an electrition. Even during the recession, he was working overtime. It's not an easy job, but it is a good paying job, with good benefits and it doesn't take 4 years to learn how to do it. He went to school for two years then joined an apprentice program.
