Kids Leaving School?

With the demand for workers in the oil patch and the high wages offerred, I am concerned that kids may be dropping out of school rationalizing that they can get a job paying over $20 / hr., so why stay in school.
Is making trade school/apprenticeships an option for grade 10 students the answer?

absolutely.
when kids graduate high school they do not have salable skills and end up pumping gas and serving hamburgers.
Trade school/apprenticeships is definitely the way to do
high school is a waste of time
