By stuck I meant more needing training as an adult to get into a different vocation, perhaps for lack of jobs in what you're already doing. I'm thinking of some of the stringent training they have in Germany for some surprising jobs. But I guess you mean more broadly tracked. I think that would be dandy, though I enjoyed taking some of the vestigial voc classes at my high school along with the college-bound stuff.
