The drop in enrolment was directly related to the real and perceived lack of opportunity.
We talked about young people going into engineering. Frankly, I'm surprised anyone goes into engineering in our public school system. Nobody knows what engineering is in our public schools. Again I don't mean to be glib, but our school systems across the country are largely designed by B.A.s to create more B.A.s, and it's even worse for trades.
There's a stigma that if you go into a shop class or go into industrial arts in high school, you're a dumb kid, and that's terrible, because not just engineers but tradespeople are sometimes wealthier than we are. That's another area where we have an acute gap. I think we have to rethink a lot of our education right from the ground up and present engineering and science and technology, the whole STEM group, as something that's attractive to all demographics. We have to get away from Dilbert.
