    College isn't the only path to building a successful career.In this episode of ASAP Unfiltered, Tasha sits down with Cain, one of the younger technicians on the ASAP Commercial Doors team, to talk about why he chose the skilled trades, what he's learned in the field, and why he believes more young people should consider this career path.Cain shares what it's like building a career at a young age, becoming cross-trained in multiple areas, learning from technicians with decades of experience, and earning the trust of customers who may not always expect the younger guy walking through the door.They discuss:* Why Cain chose the trades instead of the traditional college route* The biggest misconceptions young people have about trade careers* What he'd tell a high school student deciding what to do after graduation* Why continuing to learn new skills matters in the trades* Being underestimated because of his age* Building trust with customers* Lessons learned from veteran technicians* The importance of work ethic* What he'd teach his own apprentice* Where he sees his career going over the next five years* Why the way we talk about skilled trades needs to changeFor young people trying to figure out what's next, parents talking to their kids about career options, or anyone considering a career change, this episode is a reminder that there are a lot of ways to build a great future—and a four-year degree isn't the only one.🎙️ ASAP Unfiltered is where we have real conversations about business, leadership, the trades, and the lessons learned along the way.---About ASAP Commercial DoorsASAP Commercial Doors provides commercial door repair, installation, and preventative maintenance services across North Carolina and Arizona.
