Yes, it is the way it should be but those employees are few and far between.
Over the past 20 years parents put a high priority on going to college. Many vocational schools closed or consolidated because kids weren't interested in the trades any longer, those jobs were taken by foreigners that couldn't go to college.
We need to offer kids other options and not put a stigma on the trades. They are a great option for many kids and should be expanded and promoted.
