re: There's a skills gap coming that will reshape the economy

Public schools are now about two (2) things - (1) standardized test scores and (2) indoctrination.

Everyone that trumpets their child’s district as the “best” don’t always get that there is nothing that is best in many cases. Do they even know what their kids do at school all day. A lot of it has nothing to do with education and when they receive some education it is more so focused on things that support test preparation and ultimately passing the standardized test.

If a person obtains a trade accredited skill, has some thinking skills and ultimately transitions to their own business, they can do quite well as the number of folks that can or are willing to “do” things like simple repairs and installations has declined.

We are no longer a nation of doers and those that can do will profit if they are savvy.
