Not necessarily true. I knew guys back in Houston who worked for Charlies Plumbing over on Specer Highway. They had been plumbers assistants for years. They made good money, it was simple work, but they did little more than hand the certified craftsman tools, dig trenches, clean up the scenes etc...He will have to learn a skill in order to keep his job.
Precisely. Which is why the plan I suggested above provides an Avenue to do just that. There is nothing wrong with what you're suggesting BTW... but what you're suggesting is going to be fragmented and not available to anyone who wants to pursue the vocation.If he wants to be more than a grunt hammer swinger he will learn how to do more.
Depends. Tell me what is better, a house fully built up to code or a house built on the cheap by a guy who knows how to cut corners and will teach his employees the same methods.And tell me who is it better to learn from the guy who builds 12 houses a year of some hack in a classroom who never built a house?
Also, and this is where your MAGA shows, it's not an all or nothing proposition. The college I went to had students who were welding during their first week in classs. It's not all theory as you're suggesting it is.
