If the question is how do you prepare kids for high paying jobs then a reasonable answer is to provide them with a free education.

The problem is how do you tie that to their first 12 years of schooling so they are moving towards that goal and not looking at a life working for minimal wages.

I don't know what the answer is but I'm trying to find out.
PARENTS, and ideally two parents, are the ones who responsible for seeing that "their first 12 years of schooling is tied to …moving towards that goal" of making higher salaries to be higher income earners who will pay more into the taxes needed for SS, medicare, and all the other programs.

It takes parents to bring them up with a work ethic and long-term goals. But many kids are raising themselves with no adult supervision and they do not have a decent/safe home life to go home to.

THAT is the problem and nobody in the higher levels of leadership talks about it (except some church leaders, but they are vilified and scorned by the leftist "intellectual" crowd, for teaching against simply aborting them to solve some of these problems!).

Intact family units having dedicated, tuned in and loving parents are what kids need to be focused on a future other than minimum wage, fast food jobs or having no job.
