I'm just saying that it should start much sooner. For a lot of people, a part-time job in high school is just for extra cash to see movies. For a lot of the same people, if the school had been a little more involved and had relationships with a lot of local small businesses, they could have apprenticed at accounting, lab/research assistant (at a very basic level, mainly observing) at a local university, etc.
It's a serious shame that tech/trade schools have the stigma they do.
It's also a serious shame that said tech/trade schools typically treat their students as older high school students instead of valuable members of the current/future workforce.
