Nobody could give two s**ts about the working class... the relatively unskilled high-school grads who want to work for a living in a factory, auto mechanic shop, or plumber's shop.
Obama to the working class: STFU and go to college lol
Romney to the working class: DIAF
Obama & Romney in one voice: We'll use undocumented immigrants forever as our working class
Who does this benefit?

College is not the only path for people. Trade schools and trades should also be funded and focused on.

So, what are you going to learn to do in a trade school? Weld? Sorry, you've been replaced.
Fix PCs/Appliances/electronics Sorry, they are all disposable devices now.
Plumbing / Framing / Electrical / HVAC? Sorry, you call the certified tradesman and he sends out his unlicensed workers to do the actual work. You know, that due that makes $7.25 an hour just wired your electrical panel.

The only thing that the establishment cares about is maintaining a despotic control over your life. And at that they are exceeding fabulously.

One term would probably drive me insane then I would be the perfect President.

*shrugs* depends on what part of the country your in, I can think of one right now that nobody knows about but if your good you can make in excess of 6 figures a year easy.
there are more, people just dont know wher eto look or they are not willing to move to where the jobs are.

Anyone can make a killing in the private sector. Either get into the defense sector or the raping the planet sector.

There are still a large number of welding jobs that are hand done, one of the father at my daughters school is a welder repairing Caterpillar equipment and he makes really good money.

A very good living can still be made with blue collar jobs, that have nothing to do with military or oil... a college degree at some point will help with career progression but to think you must spend 100k on a degree before you start work is a bad joke that the press and most of the public have bought hook line and sinker.

Electricians go to school fwiw. Getting your Journeyman's or Masters is no joke. It's not a doctorate at Harvard, but it does require some mental acuity.
The jobs you could perform mindlessly and still support a family are gone. There is still good livings to be had doing tradeskills, but they require more aptitude then they used to. To get and maintain an ASE license or Journeyman's license, you can't be a dummy.
Of note? - the primary source of training, both on and off the job, is gone as well (this is one of the things unions never get enough credit for.)

A Master Automobile Technician makes a good living, despite your claim that ASE certs are a 'joke'.

no they dont.
and thers no such thing as a master automobile tech despite what 60 mins tells you.
ASE certs are a joke, especially when i see a 20yo kid riding his bike to work at the jiffylube with an ase patch in his arm.
if you really want to make it in the automotive world, you get a mercury marine cert from the boating industry.
merc cert > ASE
part of the reason i left the auto industry was because these untrained kids would walk in off the street with 5 tools in their hands and try to tell me how to bleed brakes.
and then theyd go get their ase cert and flaunt it around like proof that they know everything.
half of them dont even know how a cooling system works, let alone a complex hydraulic system like brakes.
