I think you're right, but I also believe that all students must learn to do very well in reading (high-level comprehension), writing, and math/logic. Without these types of knowledge and skills, little else will matter.
I think a variety of vocational courses should be offered -- as many as a school can manage, depending on its size. The smaller the school, of course, the fewer choices there'll end up being.
Be sure you're clear on the levels in Bloom's Taxonomy and where each would fit in with your "prepared for the future" ideas (which are good ideas, by the way).

A book called The Saber-Tooth Curriculum would be another to read -- it's not a large book and can be read in a relatively short time.
