Our education and job system is skewed.

We force everyone into college as tradition to major in any random course of study and graduate after 4 years.

But some of these degrees don’t have a job market out there for them after college. So they end up behind the counter, as Starbucks baristas. Simply making ends meet.

But there’s good news.

There’s a good career path you can take without wasting 4 years in college.

In fact, there’s a huge gap for these kinds of people. Tons of business owners are asking for people who followed this path.

So what is this career path?

In today’s episode, Todd Fleming, a CPS Energy veteran retired at 55 years old, shares why learning a trade is a great career path. You’ll also discover the massive freedom and monetary benefits that come with working as a skilled worker.

Listen now.

• Why a trade program is just as important as your college degree (6:04)
