i have worked in mfg for 29 years. i've gone all the way in the spectrum from
being a boss and having an office to running ancient machines.
I was not prepared to go into the work force in any way. Manufacturing isn't
idiot work, either. There is a lot of the line and you have to have skills and
be knowledgeable. You need a lot of soft skills.
School did none of that for me. I raised my son to an adult and my step
daughter to an adult. I could see they were not being prepared too. I just told
them to focus on math because that can help you through life.
From what i've personaly seen is kids are leaving highschool now thinking they
are going to be a million dollar youtuber. before it was basketball player
and a few other things. Now they think people will want to see them shoot
stupid videos or make twitch game streams. it's now ok for girls to show pics
of their butthole for 2.99 a month on onlyfans.
it's just a sad situation for lower middle class kids nowadays.
children should be going to a trade school while still going to regular school.
just cut out sociology and gym.
I wish i knew then what i know now. There's some certs you can get where you
can still get a job with a pension and barely do anything.
