If you make the grade for college, you're sent to trade school or an apprenticeship program instead of high school.

I still remember kids (high school age) on a scaffold eating a sandwich and a flip top beer. Masonry or brick laying was big back then.

Let's face it. 90% of college degrees are utterly worthless. You can't buy smart. The kids should be being prepared for accepting the yoke of adult responsibility and I don't think that's been a prominent feature of the curriculum in the past several years.  I'm glad I took drafting and wood & metal shop in high school. That sht saved me.  I wish they would have had 4-H at my school.  Kids need more of that and less woke-itude.
