> besides those they get from their parents
Most students don't have well-educated parents, so I agree the exposure is important.
My point is that, if this is ever going to happen, there needs to be more money directed at education.
On a related note, I went to high school in a town where there were essentially zero white-collar professional jobs. Parents were working either on the manufacturing line, in a call center, at the Walmart, steak-n-shake or gas station. The nearest cities, Jacksonville and Orlando were both at least 90 minutes away.
Where do we find the retiring-professionals for these students?
