Many trade schools have seen as much as a 19.3 percent rise in enrollment over the last several years.
In my working-class neighborhood, a college education was viewed as a way out of poverty.
The trend toward a four-year college degree is decreasing as students and parents have begun to view a degree with less enthusiasm.
The average salary post-graduation from college is between $30,000-$50,000 depending on the state.
I am hearing of more and more young, homeschooled teen boys pursuing a trade profession.
While many public schools continue to push students toward a college degree as the only means of success in life, homeschoolers feel freed up to think outside the box and pursue what interests them and better suits their gifts.
Finding the right career, be it one that requires a college degree or follows the trend of pursuing a trade, can be a tough decision.
