Skilled Trades Are the New Power Move

Forget what you heard about college being the only way to a big paycheck. Electricians, plumbers, elevator techs, and even dental hygienists are raking in serious cash—some making six figures—without a four-year degree or student debt. If you love hands-on work, these jobs can beat out a lot of office gigs and offer job security too. Who knew skipping college could mean more money in your pocket? #Education #SkilledTrades #CareerAdvice

Are AI Chatbots Making Kids Less Social?

Imagine every kid in class with their own AI chatbot tutor—sounds futuristic, right? But here’s the catch: decades of research say real learning happens when kids interact with each other, not just with screens. Schools are rushing to bring AI into classrooms, but no one really knows how it’ll affect kids’ brains, friendships, or mental health. Should we really swap messy classroom debates for solo chatbot convos? Food for thought! #Education #AIinEducation #EdTech

Why ASHS could change Alabama healthcare

Big changes are coming for students aiming for healthcare careers—federal loan rules will soon make graduate degrees in nursing and allied health more expensive. That’s why the new Alabama School of Healthcare Sciences (ASHS) is such a game-changer. Opening in Demopolis in 2026, ASHS is tuition-free and starts prepping students for healthcare jobs as early as 9th grade. Students can earn certifications, college credits, and hands-on experience, all before facing those rising costs. This could be a real lifeline for families and a boost for Alabama’s healthcare system. What do you think—will early training like this help solve our healthcare shortages? #Education #Alabama #Healthcare
