A lot of parents, unfortunately, maybe when they saw a lot of manufacturing being offshored, told their kids you dont want to go into the trades, you dont want to go into manufacturing because youll lose your job, the president opined. Well, the problem is that what happened a lot of young people no longer see the trades and skilled manufacturing as a viable career.
So far, so good. Then, however, Obama went on the offensive against Americas most useless major that doesnt have the word studies or gender in it.
