[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Attempting to keep up with the Jones is the path to ruin. I know so many teens/young 20-somethings, mostly youth of color, who shunned the traditional college pathway out of necessity. Instead they became apprentices, say in occupations like cyber security or aircraft maintenance. They received a paycheck their apprenticeship, had their related instruction paid for - and in some cased earned a "free" AA or BA degree - received a national credential in a skill, accumulated little/no debt, received on-the-job-learning, received mentorship, and are now earning six-figures, buying cars and homes. While they could pretty much earn lucrative careers at this point, many of them continue to get advanced degrees as well. It's really a shame to many of you parents are blinded by hubris from learning about all of the career pathways available to your young adult children.[/quote] Hear hear! [/quote]
