I graduated from a technical high school and learned about many trades. I specialized in the electrical world. Of course that was in the 1960's.
What you need to know about the trades is that there are concepts that apply to each trade and learning about this way of thinking opens you to many possibilities in life. Meaning you are much more likely to take on new tasks with very little fear. You know you just have to get the idea of what you want to learn or create have a clear picture of the desired outcome and the way is much clearer.
My profession as a chiropractor has been easier to do because I have a completely different way of listening for key points that indicate what the problem is and how I will bring about a desired outcome.
I am always looking at the concept behind a technique what would indicate that this would be the one to use in this circumstance. Like a trades person using key tools for a particular job.
By the way Davinci called his genius multiple intelligences. I call it trades person mind.
Using this makes it very clear that our medical system makes very little sense and when it does it is usually for the wrong reason except for emergency care of course.
An example would be drugs. You just have a 51% success rate and you can suggest the drug to almost anyone.
If you offered a tool to a trades person that only worked 51% of the time and it could cause massive failure in your work the trades person would tell you where to go in no uncertain terms.
Not only that the word would spread so no one else would dare use something like that.
I have been able to create a number of different therapeutic tools and approaches that work very well almost 100% on those it would work best for. Right tool for the job.
I could go on. The simple fact is a trades person is highly skilled and a great problem solver.
They should be teaching problem solving at the university level so the academics would have a chance to succeed in the world.
I didn't get this from chat GPT It was all my experience and no fear of trying something new.
Indeed Bob, I have such respect for the practical abilities of some relatives and friends. They don't deal in abstractions that much, but if you want something fixed or built, they can do it, or know someone who can.
I left that path back in my 20s, although I grew up in that milieu, and can not hold a candle to so many of these folks.
Interesting look at what my life has been.

Bob.
I guess that you were in the Ontario high school system at the same time I was there. They streamed people into
1 - academics (heavy on math and science)
2 - technical (heavy on practical trades) and
3 - commercial (not sure exactly what they were taught).
