[ Drum roll ] To college... or not to college?
That is the question of today's show.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous college tuition or to train, to study, and by sound slate to say we found a career without the heartache of college debt -- Aye, there's the rub.
For in that depth of college debt, what -- >> Okay, Hammy, now, I think what Mr. Shakespeare Wannabe is trying to say is that some people think the key to a successful career and the only way to have a successful career is through a college degree.
>> With a ton of college debt.
>> Maybe if we -- >> Well, college is about training, and sometimes a degree from a university is the only solution to getting the career that you want.
>> But college can be so expensive.
Is it worth the cost?
Is it worth going into tens of thousands of dollars' worth of debt?
Are there alternatives?
Are there ways that you can get the training you need for a career that pays, without going into debt?
[ Person coughs ] [ Cricket chirping ] >> All good questions.

>> But hey, if you need special training, college may be the only choice.
So how do you pay for it and not go broke?
>> Well, you do the math before you choose the path, like this Biz Kid who chose college and has an unusual plan for paying for it.

I'm 20 years old, and I'm still a Biz Kid.
I go to Millersville University, where I major in meteorology and minor in mathematics.
My first appearance on "Biz Kid$," we did a wonderful interview at my house.
I made some fun balloon art.
And we also talked a lot about bookkeeping.
It's kind of an interesting path I had because I have my business, so I have that entrepreneurship, but I've always loved weather.
♪♪ Once there's a severe weather event and the impact that that has on people -- those two pieces coupled together is what really -- it's interested me in weather.
College is expensive.
I need training to become a certified meteorologist.
To be credible in the field, you need that bachelor's and now even a master's degree with meteorology.
I do have some college debt, but I'm paying for it on my own primarily through my business and jobs on campus.
I've also earned some different scholarships.
What my scholarships don't cover, I take out a loan for that, and then I have money from the balloons set aside so that I can go back and pay off those loans.
[ Cash register dings ] I've definitely been able to manage my college debt, but the balloon art has definitely been there for me as well.
My future is very bright with meteorology.
Once I get my degree here at Millersville University, I'm going to go on and get a master's in emergency management, where I'm a liaison between meteorologists and emergency managers and weather blogging as well.

Howard just had such a rich legacy, and I was like, "I know this is the school for me."
I paid for college through a scholarship and student loans.
But I got the Legacy Scholarship, so my tuition and fees were paid for, but I still had to pay for my dorm, books, meal plan, all of that stuff.
Going to college was a good return on the investment because it got me my first professional shows, and through those professional shows, I met more people and made more connections, and I was able to continue working.

College is about getting the training and preparation you need for a successful career.
>> With college comes great opportunity and career choices.
>> But college can also come with a ton of debt.
>> Yeah, so how do you get the college training that you need for the career that you want without all the debt?
>> Try a dual-enrollment program.
>> It's a eat option for juniors and seniors in high school to get a head start on their two-year degree.
>> Yeah, you can take classes at a community college that will give you college credits and high school credits for a fraction of the cost.
>> So you could graduate high school with an A.A., or an associate in arts degree, and have two years of college behind you.

And the services my business provides are editing, writing, directing, filming, everything.
♪♪ I always thought that the only path in life was to finish high school and then go to college.
And then after that, you get a job.
However, I started doing film work part of the way through high school and realized that going to college was not the only way to get to where I wanted to go.
[ Horn blows ] I live on a 65-foot converted wooden tugboat.
grew up on the boat with my parents, and we have been working on it ever since I was born.
I saw other pathways to my career that didn't involve sinking tons of money into attending college.
When I heard that I could go to community college for two years for free, there wasn't a doubt in my mind that that's what I was going to do.
[ Rings bell ] I was part of the Running Start program, which is a state-funded program that allows you to attend community college for junior and senior year of high school.
As far as I know, there's dual-enrollment programs in many other states.
Personally, I like school, so it was awesome.
[ Chuckles ] Having more freedom, especially where school is concerned, really helps you come into your own.
[ Laughs ] A lot of people were working multiple jobs to pay for their classes there, which really made me appreciate that this was something they didn't have the opportunity to do.
My advice to any high schooler is, look into a dual-enrollment program.
It's not substantially harder than high school.
I earned an associate of arts degree, and I feel fantastic.
Hey, Biz Kid.
You can graduate college with no debt with Running Start.
[ Cheers and applause ] >> So, a dual-enrollment program like Running Start was a great option for Zenia.
>> Yeah, but it's not the only option for avoiding college debt.
>> Go, Biz Kid!
>> So there are lots of ways to do that.
>> Scholarships, for example.
There are about as many scholarships available as there are career opportunities.
>> And many scholarships, people don't even know about.
>> Like the Asparagus Club Scholarship.
[ Laughs ] >> That doesn't stink!
>> Or the National Potato Council Scholarship.

Don't give up.

[ Cash register dings ] My name is Nia Hill.
I'm a freshman accounting major from Chicago, Illinois, and I attend Howard University in Washington, D.C.
In August 2015, my family and I got evicted.
I was a senior in high school.
[ Telephone line rings ] At the time, it was something that I didn't really want to deal with because senior year of high school is the best year, like, of our lives.
You're going to prom.
You're going to graduate.
You're participating in a lot of senior activities.
It was definitely like a burden having to go home to unstable conditions.
It was hard, but it's one of the main reasons why I'm here at Howard.
During my time of homelessness, the only thing I could really think about was college.
I never had any other thoughts.
The only thing that I had in my mind was, "I'm going to college."
I've heard a lot of horror stories when it comes to loans.
And I was like, "I don't want to be part of that."
I applied to literally over 50 scholarships.
I submitted my college application for Howard.
During the couple of weeks where I waited for the response from the dean was actually filled with positivity because that's when I was receiving my scholarship offers.
When I found out that I got in, I was very excited.
I was thinking that I got a full ride, but in that package included loans -- a $25,000 loan that my mom would have to take out.
And I'd have to take out about $5,000 per year.
I was like, "I can't do this.
This is a lot of money."
My next option was to reach out to someone in the admissions office.
I e-mailed her my situation, you know.
I told her that I was homeless.
"Good afternoon.
I hope all is well.
I was emailing you today to talk about my financial aid award.
That is a lot of money for my parents.
If I could pay the 25,000 dollars out of pocket, I certainly would.
Last August, my family and I got evicted from the apartment we lived in for over 5 years.
I have to go to Howard.
I have to be a Bison."
I was laying down on my bed going through my e-mails because it was in May, and that's when I was receiving a lot of my scholarship offers.
And I saw an e-mail from Howard after I refreshed it.
[ Up-tempo music plays ] I jumped out of my bed.
I didn't even know if it was real, and I was like, "Okay, is this real?"
They gave me a full ride through tuition and fees, and I would have to pay my room and board and meal plan.
When I told my mother, she was near in tears.
It was a mixture of emotions for her.
She was just really happy that I didn't have to deal with debt or loans.
Knowing that I'll leave with great preparation as a business professional and also with a job is very encouraging for me.
You can get through college without a lot of debt, too.
Just stay focused.

>> Then trade school might be the perfect fit.
>> Yeah, trade school is sometimes called vocational school or vocational college.
>> So it's designed to teach the technical skills required to perform a specific job, like welding.
>> Well, that's one job.
The best part about trade school is that when you graduate, you're ready to work with little to no additional training.
>> And you start with your industry's base pay.
>> We're talking careers like electricians, carpenters, plumbers, or welders.

I think your show has brought more common sense and more dignity and more aspiration to real work than anything I've ever seen.
So, in terms of closing the skills gap, you guys are already doing it.
But you can't overstate the importance of an education, but the idea that the best path for the most people is a four-year degree that requires a bunch of debt... [ Cash registers dings ] ...that's had a consequence.
Right now, 5.8 million jobs are sitting there.
They don't require a four-year degree.
They require the kind of training that got you into the industry that you're in.
The basic goal of my foundation, mikeroweWORKS, is to encourage more people to learn a skill that's in demand.
So we do that through a work ethic scholarship program, but we also do it through PR and positive portrayals of work.
And we try and do it as authentically as we can.
>> Well, you know, all of us at "This Old House" are really anxious to be partnered with you so you can keep these works moving on and we can also even do a better job getting the message out there of appreciation of the trades and that getting more people involved with them because, as you said, the fact of the matter is, if we don't solve this problem, who's going to build the future of this country?

I'm a host on "Biz Kid$."
I was actually cast on the show at 17 years old while I was still in high school.
We filmed for I think five seasons, and then I came down to L.A.
It's a hard market down here.
I was here for about four years and did a lot of different things -- you know, obviously worked at restaurants to make rent payments and that kind of thing.
What I realized is that I had to think outside the box, which means that if I was paying this much in rent and I was only making this much in income, I wasn't able to save very much money each month -- or any money at all.
Sometimes I would be losing money.
So what I did is I bought an RV.
I bought a motor home.
And my best friend -- his family owned an avocado orchard.
I was lucky enough to live on this avocado orchard in Santa Barbara in my RV, and I did that for about 2 1/2 years.
And yes, you are absolutely giving up some things.
You're giving up some home comforts, and I wouldn't use the kitchen very much there because it took a lot to get everything going, so, because I worked at a restaurant, I'd eat at the restaurant for free.
Did I love it every single moment?
No.
Was I comfortable all the time?
Absolutely not.
Was I able to save a ton of money, which hopefully will not last me the rest of my life, t set me up in the future?

Don't get hammered with college debt.
Try a trade.
[ Whirring ] My name is Ryan Sweenor.
I'm a student at New England Tech for construction management, and I'm a carpenter with Sweenor Builders Incorporated.
"This Old House" came down, and they gave us this set of blueprints.
So they're going to be on site, filming and seeing the progress at some point.
Through high school I was kind of working summers just as a laborer, like cleaning things up, and since I became full-time, we gravitated towards this framing crew.
I grew up around it.
My dad was always building.
Just from a very young age, I was always interested in it.
I always wanted to build my own house.
Out of high school, I went to college for two years at Salve Regina.
I played baseball there.
After a while, I kind of realized I'm now $50,000 in debt, so I decided to take the summer off and work full-time.
Just never turned back.
I loved it.
I decided that I wanted to go to school for something that was more applicable.
[ Pen squeaking ] Now I attend New England Tech, doing that at night so I can still work full-time here.
We learn how a house goes together, how a commercial building goes together.
We design our own buildings, design our own houses.
We learn a lot about the environmental side of it, making sure building in an eco-friendly way.
[ Nail gun shoots ] Traditional college just wasn't worth the debt.
I think a lot of people feel that they need to go to college, they need to have that experience and have that on their résumé, but I know so many kids that get out of college after four years and have no idea what they want to do with their lives.
They have all this debt, no money saved up.
My 10-year plan from now would probably be a project manager kind of running the show on the residential side and eventually be the one that's making sure that everything is going smoothly.
My advice would be to weigh out your options and don't commit to college until you know what you want to do.
It's tough to get out of debt.
Find a career where there's a future in it, and stick with that until you decide what you want to do.
To any kids out there with any interest in construction, I would say, pick up a hammer, get a couple nails, and start swinging, because the earlier you can get into it, the better off you'll be.
Every bit of experience helps, and it's a fun industry to get into.
Just build some stuff!
Hey, Biz Kid, if you want to build your career, try a trade.
[ Saw whirring ] [ Cheers and applause ] >> When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must we give pause to the career we've chosen and the little debt we've picked up along the way?

Now, whether you go to college, go to technical school, get on-the-job training, or start your own business -- we don't care.
>> Just be proud of your decision.
>> And go find a career that pays, and have fun doing it!
Okay, everybody, hats off... and wave!
