I thought that was because of automation and technology was shrinking the need for gm mechanics world wide. What's next? People need to work to make money.
I want to say we should quit calling it "a new global market" and reducing the future of the human race to a business model, but that's just the young artist in me. The grown-up me admires the complexity of the global market and admits it may be valid to express humanity in the language of mathematics using currency because apparently that's pinnacle of the combined wisdom of the world.
When I read about education "they" always say "it's so we can compete in a new global market". And to be fair a market isn't just the cash, it's the vendors and the widgets too. I think that means the market demand globally is for precision engineered machine made stuff and that means more robotics, less apprenticed labor.
Well it just can't be what it kind of looks like. Washington wouldn't have pulled out the old programs without having a good plan of what to put in it's place. Have they already began to design the new vo-tech classes for the new millenium and they just want to design a new sorting hat for the new job market? Or, don't they have a plan because They see the drastic global technological changes and they dont know what tomorrow's jobs look like?
Oops, I gave in and watched an old Star Trek the Next Generation episode the other day. I love memory lane. <3
There's nothing in the world wrong with being a plumber or an air-conditioner repairman. Work to live, don't live to work. Take care of your family. Isn't that who the soldiers and scholars are trying to serve? I vote for diversity as well.
