Yes, we sure do. It's more honorable, in our present society, for a young person to go get a four year business degree so they can pour coffee at Starbucks than to have a dirty job like welding, machining, or turning wrenches.
I place a lot of the blame on high schools....if a kid isn't on track to go to college, they treat them like a second-class citizen.
They absolutely do try to prep every kid for college...they can't accept the fact that we need plumbers, electricians, carpenters, septic tank pumpers, garbage men, etc.
