In my home town (back in time) we had 2 high school, college prep and vocational 50% of 8th graders went to Vocational. Girls went to hair dressing classes and food prep classes. Boys went into car repair, car body work, and even accounting assistants. That is a short history on the disappearance of Vocational schools in the US. I am sure that books have been written about it. Also, it could be googled. Believe me, I am NOT lying. I LIVED it.

Could this possibly be your impression of money projected on the rich? Seriously, the wealthy people of whom I am aware are full steam ahead for education and often gifts are awarded to schools through them.
The people you are profiling for wealth sound as though they are scrambling to make ends meet and taxes make them sweat.
