[big gear head]

The machine shop that my son works at is looking for people with skills and the fabrication shop that my brother works at is looking for welders and machinist. There are not enough people getting into the skilled trades to fill the jobs around here. It seems like everyone who graduates from high school wants to go to college instead of learning how to work with their hands. The school that my son graduated from doesn't have kids filling the classes and the school that I went to has closed their machine shop and auto shop due to lack of interest.
