“Just remember that when kids are mean and jerky—because some definitely will be—that’s about them, not you. It still hurts, but you’ll get through this and they’ll probably always be buttheads.”
― M.L. Collins, The Shy Girl & the Jock Next Door

“Everyone needs a skilled mechanic or plumber or electrician they can count on. Over in Germany, they respect blue-collar jobs and sixty percent of their high school graduates choose vocational training. But here in America, our public high schools continue to cut vocational training from curriculums. We look down on blue collar work and push every high school student toward college. One third of all college students drop out entirely without a degree and burdened with student loan debt. Yet there is a growing shortage of skilled labor and millions of jobs going unfilled. Who are you going to call if a pipe bursts in your house or your daughter’s car breaks down on the side of the road? That’s why I believe vocational training is important.”
