Great guidance for other college options

My daughter is not on the path to going to college so we have talked a lot about skilled trade schools. I have listened to another book by this author and could not wait to hear more about the skilled trade book. This book did not disappoint. The book does a great job laying out all the reasons why skilled trade could be a great option so that she can still work towards a lifelong career while making money. My daughter is interested in welding and she actually graduates in May and so she is already looking in our area to see where she can get enrolled. Some so many kids feel pressured to go to college which is outrageous because most of those degrees do not give you a direct skill but instead with skilled trade you can learn specific skills that can also help you earn side income, start your own business and you learn while you are at school and you are still earning a very decent income. Much better than entry-level positions.

Great book, great guidance. Glad there is a book like this to help kids know there are other options.
