College vs. Trade School vs. AI

Deciding what to do after high school used to feel like a one-way street leading straight to a four-year university. Today, however, the rising cost of tuition and a shifting labor market have reopened the debate between the traditional college path and specialized trade schools. And now, the rise of artificial intelligence has added a complex layer to this age-old debate While a four-year degree focuses on critical thinking, and trade schools emphasize essential manual expertise, the rapid advancement of AI now threatens to automate roles in both sectors.
