These jobs provide<br \/>\norganizational experience and a lucrative financial head start over<br \/>\nother professional career paths that put people in a deep debt hole<br \/>\ncoming out of college. So why aren&#8217;t parents, teachers and<br \/>\nyoung people more aware of the highly rewarding career paths in making<br \/>\nand building useful things, i.e. manufacturing?<br \/>\nWe need to challenge the conventional wisdom of getting a 4-year<br \/>\ncollege degree or higher before entering the full-time workforce as<br \/>\nthe best path. Educators often tend to push more education as the best<br \/>\ncareer-building solution but that simply does not work for many kids<br \/>\nand in some cases sets them back financially as well as<br \/>\nexperientially.<br \/>\nYoung people who choose continuing education over &#8220;higher education&#8221; are living productive and happy lives.
