The “Career Dilemma”:
IS THERE A BEST CHOICE?

February 18th , 2023

Episode 34

We delved into the “dilemma” some time ago, when the media reported on the scandalous practice of wealthy parents doling out “fortunes” to secure their children’s admission to prestigious schools, often through fraudulent means such as falsifying athletic credentials. Given the staggering amount of student debt that burdens many graduates – rivaling the gross national product of a small nation – we wondered if it was time to consider a different approach, one akin to that advocated by Mike Rowe: pursuing a skill-based career that offers a viable alternative to a traditional college education.

Meet Chris Long, a former college graduate/post graduate educator who has since reinvented himself as a sought-after contractor. In this engaging conversation, we’ve come to believe that his unique career path could serve as a valuable source of inspiration and insight, whether you’re considering your own options or know someone who could benefit from his experience.
