Revival of the trades?

A Hands-On Education  - "When in the modern world a carpenter can't build a window, can't even repair a window, there's something fundamentally wrong."  Unfortunately, the online article is missing the photos that accompanied this article in the magazine - it's what made it great.

This is such a hot button issue with me. As you know, I hate the "go to college at all costs" mantra that pervades our schools. So many kids want to make stuff, are good at making stuff and don't need to take out $80k in loans and sit in Algebra classes. It's so frustrating! No one makes stuff anymore :(
