Thrive Thought: Careers, College, and the Affordability of it All

THRIVE THOUGHT
Careers, College, and the Affordability of it All

Remember in elementary school, when you were asked what you wanted to be when you became an adult? How likely is it you studied that subject in college and you’re in that career now? For most of us, chances are slim we predicted our future careers and pulled it off.

Let’s move into adulthood. How many of us studied and graduated from post-high school training or education and are still in that career field today? Most likely many more of us are in this group! But how many of us paid for training, education, and/or college and were not able to fully leverage that time into a career because of debt or other issues preventing us?

Only because I’ve already asked four questions, let me ask one more… how many of us are concerned that college debt could rob our children of a meaningful career and negatively affect their adult life?

This Sunday, we’re hosting a seminar called Preparing Your Kid and Wallet for College, and we’re helping parents and their high school students begin the important conversation of college, careers, and the affordability of all of it! Join us after the 11AM service in The Gathering (main level, at the back of the café lobby) for lunch and conversation together. Oh, and it’s FREE so go here to register!
