For years, parents and teachers have pushed kids toward college. President Obama has actually said it's our kids' duty to go to college.
But the push for college has kept many kids from taking classes that teach them to work with their hands. In fact, classes like the ones we called "Industrial Arts" were dropped from high schools long ago because of a lack of student interest.
Now American companies are looking for people who can work with their hands, and they're willing to pay them well. It's time to teach our kids to make things!
