Could that be because the goal of vocational HS is to teach a kid something he can be good at so he can graduate & get a job?

Could be, I guess, but I don't think so. I think the lack of outcry is b/c the kid is working, being productive, and "making something out of himself". I don't think the lack of outcry is b/c of
where he learned his skill, although I won't swear to that. If he went to a traditional HS, but worked in his dad's body shop since he was 13, I still think that his decision not to attend college would be regarded as a good one by most people.
