He claims to understand the plight of teachers because his mom was a high school guidance counselor 50 years ago and his sister was a tutor/substitute teacher 15 years ago. He’s 100% out of touch and if that wasn’t already clear, he told me that he didn’t believe there was a teacher shortage.
Autodidact here. If one has drive, and a >20Mb internet connection and even a ten year old computer, one can teach oneself Mechanical Drafting, Excel & Access (or other spreadsheet & relational database, like libre office suite). Here is my advice to any driven young person, like 16 with a car.

Two years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
