[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 195060, member: 1436"] I'm not talking about anyone in particular, but just American's in general. We aren't training for trade careers at all. Have you tried to hire a plumber lately? An electrician? I live in a small town of 8,000. We have a paper mill, a steel mill, a wire plant. No one around here teaches any skills needed---no machinist skills anywhere in SC that I know of. We teach all of students that they need a college education. They all think a 4 year education and are aiming for that. Well, it won't happen for many and many don't need that. We don't teach passion and pride in work. We don't teach honor in a hard's day labor. And I find that a disservice to young people. And I am always on the look out for a bargain. I think I will try to buy American as much as possible in the next few months. Put my money where my mouth is, so to speak. [/QUOTE]
