I agree with that assessment. There has been a lot of pressure on young adults to get A levels etc and get to university. There is always a push to progress up the career ladder. Everyone was to think themselves as special always aim higher. There is now a crisis looming for trades. The UK does not have enough electricians, plumbers, carpenters and so on. There are low-skilled jobs that need filling but people would rather not.
Perceptions need to change and not everyone is academic or intelligent, although there are different types of intelligent. There are jobs for everyone and progression can be attained without the need of a degree.

Always appreciate a Cllr’s perspective.
You're right, there’s too much shaming towards “non academics”.
