Catching up on my episodes. I love this topic! Very relevant to ALL American families, especially those of color or low-income backgrounds. I completely agree that a college degree is no longer a necessity. I think it’s just the stigma associated of not having a higher education. However, so many jobs now especially technical ones value experience and micro-credentials. Hopefully, this will continue to be the case to help bridge the wealth gap. Thanks for your content. I’ll tuck these notes for the future.
