Episode 3634: Kalen Bruce challenges the belief that college is the only path to success, arguing that trade schools can offer fulfilling, financially rewarding careers without the same cost or time commitment. He encourages parents to have intentional conversations with their children and support the path that best matches their interests, talents, and purpose. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://freedomsprout.com/trade-schools/ Quotes to ponder: "College doesn’t always guarantee success, and frankly, college simply isn’t for everyone." "We want our kids to be happy and to do what they were meant to do." "As long as their decision is intentional, we will let them determine their own path."
