If i would have to chose a trade it would be to be a mechanic. second to money is having a nice car, and if you can fix your own car you can doo all kinds of crazy stuff. Boost, chipped, spoiler, supercharger, get like a twelve cylinder turbo, take out the seats in the back to get rid of some weight. And i wouldnt get charges out the azz for getting an oil change and sinple stuff like that. You can getto figure out how things work, and ide have to lift stuff so i wouldnt have to pay for a gym membership.

Since Tabor Academy is a “college prep” school do you think it has a goal of guiding students to whatever may be best for them even if it is a position in the trades? Examine and explain your opinion.

Best is a very subgektiv word. And for most in the Tabor community, the 'best' outcome for an enrolled student is one far away from any type of position in the trades. Pursueing a trade as a career would be percieved by many as a failure. Saying you'll be a plumber or a mechanic is more of a punchline than anything else. It may make a student here happy, fufilled, and give him or her more purpose than that found in a cubicle. A cubicle, however, and the work done there as opposed to 'tinkering' will bring money. Money will pay back college loans, money will potentailly donated to Tabor, and money that will send their children to Tabor. That being said, the ones who apply thiemselfes to Tabor already have an established different path from that of a tradesman. If someone was super interested in the trades then  they would be interested in a vocational school.
