You should focus on the skilled trade speakers. There's a huge shortage of skilled trade jobs and there's a potential to make some serious money. Kids have had the "you have to go to college to be successful" mantra drilled into their heads and it's simply not true.

I 100% agree and think that's a good idea. Every generation after the boomers were told to go college no matter what. I think the market is shifting back to good opportunities in a skilled trade without having thousands of dollars of debt.

yep, this is true. College can be a great thing (and if nothing else you at least get to interact with a whole new set of people where any number of opportunities can arise). But it is not for everybody and there are plenty of other jobs out there that simply do not require that. The price of everything a student (or their parents) have to pay while attending college is ridiciously high. Everything from tuition to textbooks (don't get me started on that shite) is priced that high because of the stupid notion that "You must go to college to succeed in life"
