I get your point, but the need for early transition to vocational training is even more important for this population.
I agree everyone has a interest or skill that can be developed, and college should not be the only route available, but I have a problem with some that just assume if a person is not on a college track it is due to lack of intelligence. Most of the trades mentioned in the other post require licensing, or certification at some point to really have a shot at the best jobs, the exams required for plumbing, electrician, HVAC, automotive tech, and general contracting require a working knowledge of math at probably the HS algebra/trig I level, understanding of basic concepts in science and the ability to memorize a fairly large amount of information, little Johnny with the 89 IQ is going to have a tough time.

I didnt' mean to imply that. True university level work requires a combination of intelligence and will. Only so much of one will compensate for lack of the other.
Lazy dullards are going to have to be satisfied with unskilled work and I'd prefer not to subsidize them if they're able-bodied. Hard working people of limited intelligence will always have a place in the workforce. They often exceed their lazier, smarter peers in ultimate success.
