- Parents are starting to realize college isn’t the only lucrative option for their kids after high school. As more high-school grads turn toward trades, apprenticeships, or other means of postsecondary education, parents are becoming more accepting of different career paths. A new report shows 70% of teens say their parents are supportive of them exploring other options besides college after high school.
As attending college becomes increasingly expensive, it’s no surprise younger generations are considering alternatives to a four-year degree. Going to college was once perceived as a one-way ticket to a successful and lucrative career, but there are a growing number of six-figure jobs that don’t require a degree.
