The Unseen Potential of Blue Collar Professions

Let's set the record straight - college isn't your only ticket to success. Steve visited his daughters class for career day. And he learned a lot in that hour.

Steve was excited to give a  perspective to the students who 100% all thought they have to go to college to earn a good living.

We also talk about how getting buy in from the parents to encourage their kids that the trades could be an option for them if they are interested in going that route. This will be a crucial in changing the way the trades are viewed.

We also talk about how shows like "Dirty Jobs" helped expose the value of blue collar work.  Who wants to see Mike Rowe on BCBS??
