TL;DR version of this article:

1. Author complains her lazy nephew's approach to school (and resulting Political Science degree) did not result in a good paying job.

2. Author complains her other nephew's lack of a degree and previous chef jobs did not result in a good paying job.

3. Author advocates for community colleges, blames higher-ed for being "too rigid" for her nephews, and says how much better Germany and other European countries are at training.

I don't think you're quite in the spirit of the article there. How about:

1. Author has a nephew who was forced into a degree program he didn't want because he mostly hates school, but blue collar jobs don't pay enough anymore. Neither do white collar jobs for people who don't enjoy classroom learning.

2. Author has another nephew who also didn't like classroom learning, got a degree in chef's school and made alot of progress in the field. However, chef's don't get paid well either.

3. Author thinks maybe the problem is there isn't a path for people who don't like classroom learning and maybe Germany is better at this IDK?

Not to sound like some kind of socialist, but maybe the problem is many jobs don't pay very well anymore?

This is a very unfair interpretation of the article at least for point 1. It never described the nephew as lazy, it could've been that they were depressed or had something going on. It also says that he might have been better doing something physical, not necessarily political science.
