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?
