Community college or some kind of 1 year apprenticeship once finished with high school. Just something lower stakes so you can figure things out a little before dropping $100k in loans on a 4 year university.

The problem is getting everybody on board for free CC. Tennessee managed it but when it was brought up here it was shot down as a “woke initiative”.

I like what Australia has where the government helps subsidize apprenticeships and works with employers to provide those across the board. It’s a structured pathway that can start when they are as a young as 15 years old.
