Summary
Big names in tech and politics are slamming college as outdated, yet many still send their own kids to campus. Ford CEO Jim Farley flips the script—his son Jameson ditched the traditional path, became a mechanic, loved it, and now’s doing both: college and hands-on work building race cars for NASCAR. Farley sees this as proof that skilled trades are the real future, offering high pay, real impact, and the backbone of the middle class—jobs Ford alone has thousands open for, paying over $100K a year.
