That is awesome! I was speaking from my ex boyfriend’s experience trying to get into plumbing, then looked into water treatment tech, he decided to commit to welding.

Career paths are as unique as individuals are. And there are good options for everyone.

My observation of freshmen in a state school is that young people should be figuring out their interests and talents, what they want their life to look like, and becoming independent by age 15-18. Parents should not be directing their childrens’ lives by that age anymore. We have “kids” going to college when the decision to go to college should be made by an adult with intention. Some of my colleagues have begun calling their University students “kids” and it makes me wince.
