College vs. Trade School: How Gen Z is navigating future pathways
In this week’s episode of Money Glow Up, host Tiffany Aliche speaks to career expert and executive coach Laura Gassner Otting to explore whether trade school or college is the better financial choice, diving into the benefits of each path.
Gassner Otting explains that while college graduates may earn more over the course of their careers, trade school graduates start earning earlier — and without the burden of student loan debt. “They’re graduating without debt, and people coming out of trade schools immediately start usually earning union-protected wages,” Gassner Otting says.
