The job areas sound interesting, but I'm curious how their schools will train people sufficiently for data science and other such intellectually debating work.

The job areas sound interesting, but I'm curious how their schools will train people sufficiently for data science and other such intellectually debating work. Not that these people aren't smart enough...I just question the ability to educate someone sufficiently for this stuff in 6 years as part of extended high school. I'd love to know more about what this means in practice. The play on words with "blue collar" might resonate with Trump but definitely has connotations with "lower paying" which is concerning when coming from a major tech employer like IBM. After all, under a services model your biggest overhead (and thus target for "optimization") tends to be salaries.
