Today, it seems college is the primary goal for the U.S. educational system. 100 years ago… teaching children a skill in their chosen trade was the focus, as schools were set on preparing children for real life! Sure, many professions today “require” a college degree, and no doubt it’s vital to some (doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc.). But what if a child loathes academics? What if a child loves working with their hands, fixing things, building things or being outside? Shouldn’t we allow children the freedom to explore options they’re passionate about? Through apprenticeships, happiness can be found for those interested!
