but in Indiana, they had vocational schools that even helped one find a job after finishing their training. Airline maintenance was another class I know they offered at some schools. In the case of plumbers, electricians and auto mechanics in rural areas, a lot of people have their own little one or two person businesses and make a nice living doing repairs for homeowners or individual car owners.

I worked for construction companies for 40 some years and we had guys who couldn't read and write, but they still made a nice living. Yes, that's rare and I would not recommend it today, but learning to do the work is over half the battle.

Perhaps it's different in other areas.
