More Missourians are skipping the traditional college route and heading straight into trades—and it’s changing the local job scene. While Mizzou’s campus is still buzzing with grads, statewide college enrollment keeps dropping. Instead, people are finding solid careers in everything from construction to hair braiding, often landing jobs in just a few months with little or no debt. Some trade gigs pay $22–$26 an hour right out of training! What do you think—should more folks consider trades over a four-year degree? How has this shift affected your family or community? #Education #College #MissouriJobs
