Frank Stronach: Too many university grads, not enough tradespeople in Canada
For the past several decades, we've been producing far too many social scientists and too few plumbers and electricians. A lot of teenagers nowadays can't even drive a nail into a two-by-four or change a flat tire on a car. The plain truth is, as a society we haven't done a very good job of preparing young Canadians for good-paying careers in the skilled trades.
Even though our economy is becoming increasingly digital, we will still need people to build machines and houses and cars. And a lot of those jobs will require people with skilled technical trades. But unless we start teaching those skilled trades to young Canadians at an early age, we won't have enough people here in this country to make and build things, and once we lose that know-how, our standard of living will drop significantly.
As a country, we need to urgently develop our skills base. If we no longer have the skilled workers and capability to manufacture products, then businesses will be forced to look elsewhere by relocating manufacturing or farming out skilled production to other countries in eastern Europe and Asia. Take my own trade of toolmaking as one example: many toolmakers are now quickly approaching retirement, and there aren't enough toolmakers coming up through the ranks to replace them. Years ago, when I first started out in business, most of the toolmakers I hired were European immigrants like myself, but that source of skilled trades has also dried up.
The great problem we face is that we have drifted away from a real economy, where we manufacture products, to a predominantly financial economy built on financial transactions and the transfer of financial assets. However, a strong and vibrant manufacturing sector — and the technology base it rests on — is vital to our economic health and our standard of living.
I believe we've already reached a tipping point and are entering a new era in which blue-collar workers — people who can build and fix things — will make more money than white-collar workers in paper-shuffling office jobs. That wage gap will only get larger in the years ahead due to the growing shortage of skilled tradespeople.

Could we have afforded to pay for private school for two children and pay for our daughter's tuition at university if he studied history in university instead of aprrenticing as an electrician fresh out of high school.....maybe not.

Old Stronach is right, too many young people shun the trades for useless BA's.

Here in Southern Ontario, there has been a decades long shortage of machinists and tool and die makers.

In manufacturing, they are common trades.
