Consider Trade Schools and Skill-Based Education
The rising student loan crisis and dissatisfaction of university graduates has sparked discussions about convincing smart young people to consider trade schools and skill-based education as an alternative to traditional four to eight year college degrees. This includes acquiring serious skills in trades like electrician and plumber or pursuing applied one or two year programs such as data analysis or nursing. The argument highlights the potential for high-paying jobs in the trades, contrasting the lower-paying jobs and large student debt of some liberal arts graduates.
