They need to bring more focus to trade schools. How many people go to college and get a degree just as a status symbol or because their parents "made them" go? How many people would be better off going to a trade school and learning how to be a plumber or an electrician than going to a 4 year school and getting a generic liberal arts degree?
To be fair, in their day, being white collar and college educated was the dream many of them could never have. They think blue collar is low class (which it is in the eyes of elitists), but really, white collar workers, on the whole, are not necessarily happier people.
White collar or blue collar, people always will have want for that which they do not have. That covetousness can ensue discontentment for what one already has to the point of obfuscation.
