Looking for help... Skilled trades...

I was out of work during my son's high school days of '07-11 and the scorn was even worse if a kid wanted to do anything remotely "dirty".
I was fortunate to have a few friends who taught at a local career center during those years and I was occasionally brought into the auto shop (that teacher was a former co-worker of mine) as a "guest instructor" a day here, a couple days there.
No pay but it was a way out from looking at my same boring 4 walls.
I had gotten hurt "off the job" and so there was no such thing as "light duty" at my job.
While there at the career center it didn't take long to see what kids were from the farming areas and which were from the" yuppie " towns around.
The farm kids were always the ones willing to jump in and work while the yuppie kids wanted to be on their phone and hide down the hall by the vending machines. The farm kids were the ambitious ones that thought they could get more done in 2 hours a day than even a seasoned journeyman could possibly do in that time.
