I would only add to the preceding post that in Europe vocational education is treated with near equal social respect and academic demands to that of a University education. The impetus for rigorous and structured education in the trades can be traced to the Middle Ages and explains their advantages over the typical American worker today. It isn't that the Europeans work harder- just smarter.
