Response to #1: Giving a kid an erector set makes him no more fit to become a mechanic than giving a kid a piano will guarantee that he'll be a musician. While I DETEST video games, I can't follow your logic that giving a kid an erector set will set him on a course towards a mechanical career.
#2: Last I heard, golf was a sport--an extracurricular activity, not a classroom activity. But even 40 years ago, when I was in high school, vocational ed was on the back burner. Want to weld? Then you had to enroll in the vocational agriculture program; there was no other option. Or you could sign up for the vocational school in the next county...in which case you spent half the day there, and could only take minimum state graduation-requirement courses. That meant you were automatically excluding yourself from college, and it also left no time for accounting or business courses in the rest of the school day. So you had to choose early, and if you wanted to graduate, there was no turning back.
#3: Kids with aptitudes still have those aptitudes no matter where you steer them. You cannot rob natural abilities from them, unless maybe you cripple them somehow along the way.
#4: Try paying for your house payment, your utilities, and your gasoline with the pride of a job well done...most folks still expect cash. Money sure isn't THE most important thing in this life, but it seems it's a LOOOOONG way ahead of what's in the #2 spot when you've got bills to pay.
