This should be in every high school in America! College is awesome… for some, but not for all. Mike Rowe would applaud this!
Hi David
You are correct. Not only would I applaud it, I'd share it, and challenge every principal in every single high school in America to post in a place of prominence. And to those principals who decline, I'd ask a simple question.

My friend Chloe Hudson, who stars in a short documentary called Trading Up, (released later today,) makes mid six-figures as a welder, with no college debt. Her story, like so many others, is compelling and critical. Here's a link to the trailer...https://www.prageru.com/video/trading-up-trailer
