Trade skills are becoming a real option even in wealthy areas

I found this story really encouraging because it shows that the four year degree path isn't the only way forward anymore, and that's huge for our community. In my experience, so many women feel locked into thinking they need a traditional college degree to make good money, but these trade certifications can actually get you working faster with less debt. What matters here is that even parents in expensive neighborhoods are supporting their kids in choosing different paths, which means the stigma is finally shifting. If you're thinking about going back to school or training for something new, this is proof that employers and families alike are taking non traditional routes seriously now. Have you or anyone you know looked into trade certification as an option instead of four years at a university?
