Mechanized work doesn't make it easy for these people though who are more likely to just fall into alcoholism, drugs, and illicit under the table work that eventually turns criminal. This is part of the reason that women are becoming the larger percentage in colleges. Studying to be a librarian, nurse, bank teller, etc... are unmanly and therefore not to be pursued. The military which probably used to be the destination for these people has too high standards with too much discipline and so on to appeal.
    Not what I see. I see a lot of folks who mouth off about politicians, lawyers, doctors and the like -- saying that we should be all about putting people back to work in manufacturing -- while making sure their kids get to the better schools and law school or med school to follow so they can get their piece of the pie.
