Children should be funneled towards career paths such as plumbing or being electricians as early as elementary school, according to Education Secretary Linda McMahon, amid high demand for skilled tradespeople and a brewing labor shortage as the country looks to rapidly build AI data centers.
“Not every child needs a college education,” McMahon said in an interview on Thursday on Mornings With Maria on Fox Business. “Let’s develop the skills that children have a natural propensity for and not force them into a path of education that’s not going to serve them well.”
