More folks across Missouri are skipping the traditional college route and jumping straight into trades—and it’s changing what “success” looks like for a lot of families. While Mizzou’s campus is still buzzing with grads, statewide college enrollment keeps dropping. Instead, people are finding solid, good-paying jobs through quick vocational programs—sometimes in just a few months, with much of the cost covered by scholarships. Whether it’s construction, cooking, or warehouse work, these paths are opening doors fast. What do you think: Is college still worth it, or are trades the smarter move now? #Education #College #Missouri
