Hope isn’t a plan - and too often, it’s all students have. This blog explores Pillar 1 of @FutureReady Pathways (Education and Career Navigation), and how schools can move from scattered advising to intentional systems that help learners turn aspirations into actionable pathways.

We’ve been telling the wrong story about pathways. Now we’re rewriting it—starting with history, rethinking design, and inviting new voices to the table. It’s time to cross the cafeteria. 🔗 all4ed.org/blog/crossing-…

I am a Christian, and I have two daughters. Both my daughters attend public school. When my daughters were old enough to go to school I felt so much pressure from the Christian culture to homeschool them. I went to public school and had a really good experience, but everyone was treating public school like it was the devils playground. I tried to homeschool my oldest in preschool and I realized how terribly unequipped I was to teach. I didn’t have the discipline, nor the mental capacity to teach from home. I think public school is great. The teachers are all so intentional, the school counselors are lovely, and their principal remembers their names and things about them. We are very involved parents. We go on field trips, take them to school events, and go to all their conferences. Honestly, public school gets way too much hate.

Hector Resendez - Trade School Secrets
There are only about 25,000 elevator technicians in the entire U.S. Let that sink in. Now think about how many elevators exist: • Apartments • Hospitals • Hotels • Office buildings • Airports Every single one needs maintenance… forever. Now here’s where it gets interesting: Elevator techs make $100k on average Top earners clear $150k+ With overtime in big cities? Even higher. And the “training pipeline” everyone talks about? It’s not 4 years of college. It’s: • Apprenticeship programs • Trade-based training • Earn while you learn So let me get this straight… We’re telling 18 year olds to take on $100k+ in debt… Instead of pointing them toward a career where they can make six figures fixing elevators? Here’s the controversial part: The shortage isn’t because the job is bad. It’s because no one is telling kids this path exists. We’ve marketed college. We’ve ignored trades like this. And now we have a massive gap. In 10–15 years? The people who chose these “invisible trades” are going to look like geniuses. Fun fact: only one out of the three elevators worked during our trip and average wait time was 10-15 mins.

All4Ed's Charlotte Cahill & Kyle Hartung challenge one of the most persistent narratives in pathways work. For years, we’ve heard that credentials are the fast, equitable route to good jobs—and bachelor’s degrees are too risky. The data tells a different story.
