Since we were little, we knew we had to go to college. High schoolers feel a great amount of pressure that they must go to college? But should they? In this podcast, we talk about how the push for college has changed America and how the workforce did not shift to accommodate student needs. Hannon Sanford joins us to tell his journey of realizing that maybe college is not for him, especially if you are not going for something that you are interested in. All while keeping in mind that every life is different and how you should make your decisions on your own.
