Would you recommend trades to a kid with potential to do more?

Depends on the kid. Does he have a clear path and a plan for going into a field like engineering or medicine? Then no. Does he not know what he wants to do and will declare a major like political science (speaking from experience, here)? Then he should look hard into a trade instead. Maybe he decides it is not for him, but an English speaking man with a good head on his shoulders can go far in a skilled trade.
