Clint Crawford, a longtime Arkansas auto tech, never pressured his kids to go to college—he wanted them to see the real value in blue-collar work. He points out that when something breaks, it’s skilled tradespeople who keep our lives running smoothly. With student debt soaring and entry-level office jobs shrinking, more parents are rethinking the college-or-bust mindset. Technical careers offer stability, good pay, and real-world impact—something Crawford believes should be part of every family’s conversation. How do you talk about career choices with your kids? Are we finally ready to give trades the respect they deserve? #Cars #CarOwnership #Arkansas
