"Why ""Get a Degree"" Stopped Being Good Advice "

2.9 million skilled trade jobs are sitting open every year — and only enough graduates to fill less than half of them. Meanwhile, record numbers of college grads can't find work in their field. Same economy, two completely different outcomes.
Andy Tanner sits down with Dr. Jason Altmeyer, former congressman and author of Trade Up, to unpack why the "college for everyone" pipeline broke, and why people who learn a trade are twice as likely to end up owning their own business than people who don't.
They dig into AI's real impact on white-collar jobs versus the trades, why automation isn't the threat everyone assumes, and how ownership — not a diploma — is still the most overlooked path to financial independence.
This isn't an anti-college argument. It's a permission-to-choose argument.
