There still are these places. However, due to the stigma placed on them,
they aren't as visible as normal colleges.

And many of these jobs require at least as much intelligence to do as
programming. Quite frankly it is pushing my limits to go from being
a programmer/writer to a machinist/caregiver/programmer/writer. I wish
that I *had* taken a few more shop classes in high school or college.
