When I was growing up, in WV, we had very near 100% because, back
then, they realized one mold doesn't fit all, so my high school was...

1/3 academic... college-bound

1/3 business... secretaries, clerks, small store management, etc.

1/3 trade school... machine shops, automotive and aircraft, etc.

Now the dorks think everyone should go to college :-(

That reminds me of the information economy" types that forget that
they often wear clothes and drive cars and live in houses and such.
And just how much of our ordinary lives are made more convenient by
the work of clerks, salespersons, laborers, assembly line workers,
etc., I have done enough of these things to have permanent respect.
