Kinda curious if thats a problem with this generation; there has always been parts of the population that aren't interested in education; my mother missed a ton of school to stay back and work on the farm.
I imagine a problem being more along the lines of too much focus being put on education, and not enough on literally anything else. When I was in highschool there was really no guidance for anything other than going to college; and I know when my wife was in highschool not going to college was just not an option.
This ****s over everyone who realizes higher education isn't for them.

You actually bring up a valid point.
In today's society most people are encouraged to get into a good college to become a doctor or banker or something but not enough focus is placed on going to trade school for specialized jobs like technicians, contractors, and farmers.
We have to break the stigma around the blue-collar jobs and show people that they don't have to shoot for some fancy white-collar job to be successful in life.
Because those jobs are truly important and without them things would be pretty rough.
