If you can catch a kids interest in shop classes, you may have "saved" them from more troubled lives. It won't work for all but, if you can spark someone learning desire, it can change their life and bring much more happiness to them than hanging out with the wrong crowd.

You need to find what a kids is interested in and then show them how a education, will enhance it and what direction their studies need to take.

It can make all the difference in the world and make it so, you enjoy what you do for a living, not work, just to make a living.

This. If you agree with this statement, I urge you to read Shop Craft as Soul Craft.
