Not every teen will go off to college and there are decisions and trade-offs associated with every option. As you explore with your teens where they fit best you will want to understand what matters most to them. Is their career most important or is there a lifestyle they are focused on? In Financially Independent Teens we explore this question and share a story about Jamul who wanted to become a truck driver. He borrowed the $5,000 he needed from the driving school and started as a fill-in driver after graduation. One year out of high school he was making $5,000 per month as a full-time truck driver and really enjoyed his job.
There are many good-paying jobs that do not require a 4 year college degree. Many community colleges have certificate programs that lead to good jobs
