For the past few decades, there’s been a significant push for students to enroll in a four-year university immediately after high school. But according to a recent survey, almost 70 percent of parents would support their children entering the workforce right after high school. For #WIWTK, I had a great conversation with Mark C. Perna to discuss whether college is the best path for students to have successful careers. Join the conversation here: https://bit.ly/41qhkCQ

"Higher education has a PR problem." Has the college experience become transactional? "Invest in this diploma, we'll give you success." It was a great marketing campaign in the 1970s, but it launched the skills gap that now exists. As you watch the clip, keep an eye out for the data point regarding retail price college tuition (*not accounting for financial aid): $104,108 for in-state schools $223,360 for private, nonprofit schools Even WITH financial aid of 50% of the cost, that's still a HUGE chunk of change. The conversation regarding the skills gap has shared many positive elements to the trades and the conversation isn't that "college is bad" because it's not. It's simply an opportunity for the collective to understand the value and importance of the trades.

While the excitement of college acceptance awaits, many students find themselves hitting pause on their applications. This delay can be caused by several factors. It's important to remember that these delays are understandable, but proactive steps can help: prioritize applications with approaching deadlines, communicate with teachers or testing services for missing materials, and seek guidance from counselors or college advisors. Remember, financial aid options are available, and focusing on a few top choices initially can be manageable. Don't let fear or logistical hurdles hold you back from pursuing your future education! #collegeapplicants #highschoolSeniors #collegecounselor #edtechplatform #collegeapplication #fafsa #scholarship #commonapp #hbcu #collegefair #collegeadmission #collegeapps #collegeessay #UprootedAcademy
