Educational Opportunities
If you are a Baby Boomer, chances are you went to school when most school systems had "Shop Class". It is also the shame of many of the school systems that females were not allowed to take shop during the 1960's and into the mid 1970's (at least where I grew up).

If you were born after the Baby Boomer generation (Gen X, Millennial, etc.), your educational program may not have included shop class due to time constraints, education tracking, or local school curriculums.
