include any 'shop' classes at all. Those were for the kids who struggled with basic math so that they could learn a trade and make their way in life. Or so I was told at the time.
You can imagine the eye-opening I got when I first hired on as a machinist and had to calculate the x-y coordinates for 11 holes on a 12 hole pattern with a radius of 1.876".

I was about 40 years old before I ever stepped foot into a college class. Machine Trades 100.
