High school students turning to military and trade schools
Original: High school students trending toward military and trade schools
A growing number of American high school graduates are choosing military enlistment and trade or vocational schools over traditional four-year colleges. The shift is being attributed to rising tuition costs, skepticism about the return on a college degree, and strong demand for skilled trades jobs. Recruiters and technical programs report increased interest, while analysts see the trend reshaping expectations about education and career paths for young people.
Why now: Rising college costs and a strong job market for skilled trades are prompting students and families to weigh alternatives to university.
