Is this hobby dying in the US?

I think less and less younger people are interested in building stuff like this. I graduated in 2002 and the trade classes were just starting to go away, now they're a rarity, just a sign of the times and where interest is..

But there will ALWAYS be people building stuff like this, and always be kids that are amazed by it, so there is hope! Keep on Keeping on. My nephew and my son love watching them work and I will teach them how to build stuff the best I can.
