If you're a millenial, it's pretty likely that you were strongly encouraged to get a four-year college degree. Probably the trades, or any non-college options, were not encouraged at all. After a generation like this, we now have overwhelming student debt and a major shortage of tradesmen. What is the solution? Should we discourage our kids from going to college? Annie and Alicia are discussing it all in today's episode.
