A friend reminded me that cultures tend to follow the adage, "necessity is the mother of invention." In other words, it may seem that the United States is producing a low number of technically-oriented postsecondary diplomas, but history seems to say that the generation of children currently growing up in households financed by parents or guardians losing their primary incomes will use their memory of hardships to seek better lives for themselves.
And then there is this:
Reengineering
America's Future
While other political entities can claim a high graduation rate for technical degrees, the ebb and flow of desire for knowledge around the world will build interest in formal technical education here once again.
Or so my friend's take on history says.
It's never the end, just the start of a new beginning we only see in hindsight.
