In this episode we address one of the biggest stigmas attacking students and families— the belief that technical education and attending technical, trade, and community colleges is inferior to attending a four-year college or university. Career and Technical Education classes (CTE) have been stigmatized for decades, yet we're seeing that people are lacking the technical skills to pursue and succeed in various jobs and careers that are in demand. With tuition hikes every few years, the cost of education at many four-year institutions is staggering, yet many parents have scoffed at the idea of their children attending two-year institutions, trade schools, to earn the degrees and certificates that could potentially catapult and fast-track them in their careers.

In this episode we will address the commentary, talk numbers, run through scenarios, provide insight from a college professor, examine the industries and the marketplace, and consider the risks and returns of bypassing the technical education and jobs, versus running straight towards them in full-embrace.

And of course, we're shouting out some professionals and businesses!
