We've been brainwashed into believing that college degrees mean success. A path that brings you joy, that meets your needs, that contributes to society...all of that has value. Think of where we would be without our landscapers, our electricians, our trash collectors, our retail staff...these jobs have value. As you said, we should put more effort, commitment, stature, and I would add, a living wage, to these professions. One is not better than the other. Everyone has purpose.

I'd be surprised if a tech school turned anyone down for this kind of work. Around here there's a beauty salon that works this way and we always go there. Gives the students go practice and you know a professional is there to fix anything if they do mess up. (But they never do! At least not with me!)

If you can go to a school to get something done, it's much less expensive and since students are graded on their work, you might actually be getting a better product.

Seems like not only a money saver, but with professional oversight by the certified mechanic instructors, its a great way to encourage and support excellence among the important and needed trades in our country. When I hear about the vocational training and apprenticeship in Europe I always wonder why we don't put more effort, commitment and stature into such efforts.
