My citizens are too smart
Specialized industries (forestry, mining, etc) require relatively uneducated workers. Unfortunately, I placed a strong emphasis on education in my city, and over half the population (including children) have university degrees. Not really suitable for doing grunt work.
So if my education system is so top notch, how do I attract the uneducated folk to my fine city so that they can work the mines?
Best Answer
You should be able to operate these industries fine with educated workers. Have some residential zone laid down out of range of any education facilities, but within the range of the industries you want them to staff.
You can use the view modes in the top right (or by selecting the education panel) to see how far your education reaches your city, your residential buildings should be red if they're out of range.

Answer 2
Just separate your industrial zone from everything else and then put houses a stones throw from it! Then make sure that education is very far away from them.
Answer 3
Level 3 industrial requires more educated workers than level 1 industrial (the building will show the breakdown required when selected). Be sure to add cargo trains and public transit to help it level up, as well as other services.
For specialized industries I'm not sure how it differs.
