shop class

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.

Yes, if necessary. Tabor Academy is a "college prep" school, not only finding the right college for one, but also finding one's career. Well, it is unlikely to happen that we get into shop class and learn about those "professional" jobs and learn about them. So it is unlikely for one to find his or her career as plumber or electrician while one is attending to Tabor Academy. If one is to have trades-based career when one grows up, one probably had different source where one got his or her idea of having trades-based career.



If you had to choose a trades-based career for yourself what would it be? (some examples: plumber, electrician, seamstress/tailor, builder, auto-mechanic, boat-mechanic, welder, machinist, maintenance repair technician, aviation mechanic, HVAC technician, etc.)

I would like to become plumber if I would have to choose a trades-based career. It is not only the money I will get from the client, but also the fact I like things to be in order, just like the puzzle. Although I cannot judge about any of those jobs since I am not an expert on it, I think a lot of them are interesting to be.
