I’m not trying to single anyone out but I did want to address the “smart” issue.

There are smart people in nearly all fields. That a person has a high gpa and scores well on standarized tests does not mean that their passion in life is going to be something they must go to college to study. Of course, we’re talking about young people but I question the validity of the idea that a smart person is wasting their talent in becoming a mechanic or whatnot.
