Top 3 Value Bombs

1. If you are a young person, or a parent of a young person, flip the script on the status quo. If a person is going to go to college, community colleges are a great option. Do an internship or an apprenticeship that won't put them in tens of thousands of dollars in debt.

2. Entrepreneurship is going to matter for them, no matter what they decide to do after high school. It's just a matter of making the lessons and curriculum interesting for them by using different technologies, guest speakers, and videos that will help get students engaged.

3. It's difficult to know what you want to do for the next 40 years of your life when you're 18 years old.
