WE are here now.
Hard to educate when there is no one with skill sets to do so.
We need to start at ground zero and teach basics at an Early age.
I think We need to put the wonderment back into the Youth in a hands on way…
Not sure how, but We need to turn the table here and be optimistic.

We have always needed critical thinking in the trade. Without a proper foundation (basics), trades have nothing to build on. Principles of operation don’t change, they are applied in a different way. It’s sad to see how the change in focus has affected the quality of graduates and the attitudes towards technical trades resulting in a critical shortage of personnel.
