00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>He's the executive director of the Tools Program. Because Nick,

8
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 1>welcome to fifty fifty five KRS Morning Show. There are

9
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.200
<v Speaker 1>job opportunities, are actually career opportunities out there in the trades.

10
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Aren't there tons of them?

11
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:45.399
<v Speaker 2>Brian, how are you doing?

12
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing great. Great to have you on the program

13
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 1>to talk about the Tools Program and the uh the

14
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 1>March Madness kind of fundrais of the kickoff for people

15
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>to enjoy and learn about Tools Program and also have

16
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>a great time. Before we get to the details on that,

17
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:00.759
<v Speaker 1>let my listeners know about the Tools Program and what

18
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 1>you're all about.

19
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely so. The Tools Program was founded approximately five and

20
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:07.519
<v Speaker 2>a half six years ago. I think we're in our

21
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 2>six school year now. The main focus of the program

22
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.159
<v Speaker 2>is skill trade career exposure for K through twelve. We

23
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 2>do have an eighth grade math and science project where

24
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 2>we come in take over the eighth grade math class

25
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.000
<v Speaker 2>for a day, give the teacher a break, teach about

26
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.280
<v Speaker 2>maths and science skills. And then our main focus is

27
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>really helping students transition from high school into the skilled

28
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 2>trades industry. We'll want to make sure we open every door,

29
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 2>make the opportunities available to them, and then provide resources

30
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:39.159
<v Speaker 2>such as scholarships for transition money and tool packages as well. Well.

31
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it's fantastic concept. And you know, as I've noted,

32
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>and you can correct me if I'm wrong, if I've

33
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 1>got a misconception on this. These are jobs that artificial

34
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>intelligence can't take away.

35
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you show me a computer that's going to finish

36
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.359
<v Speaker 2>your drywall after it frames up your wall, and I

37
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>think we're heading a bad direction that we can see

38
00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 2>that happening. Absolutely, none of these jobs are going to

39
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.840
<v Speaker 2>be out source. You know, we were during the Big

40
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 2>CAF back in the day. We were essential workers so

41
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.319
<v Speaker 2>to speak. So definitely something that if you're looking for

42
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.240
<v Speaker 2>a long term career, build a family, support that family,

43
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:12.599
<v Speaker 2>this is the place for you.

44
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And the word career is important. It's not just

45
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>a job. I mean you can actually feed a family

46
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:19.919
<v Speaker 1>and live a comfortable life. On the salaries of these

47
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>job pays. These are not you know, minimum wage type jobs.

48
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 2>Definitely. Currently we actually ranked ninth in the country out

49
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.840
<v Speaker 2>of all safety states. Are current average salaries for skilled

50
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 2>trades men and women in Ohio is sixty two and

51
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>a half thousand.

52
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:34.039
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

53
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 2>The funny thing is I go to a lot of schools.

54
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 2>I speak at a lot of high schools, and whenever

55
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 2>I get to that part of the presentation, you can

56
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:42.639
<v Speaker 2>see that the teachers kind of perk up and look

57
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.159
<v Speaker 2>and say a little that's a little more than we made.

58
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.800
<v Speaker 2>So that might be a good path for your kids well,

59
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:49.560
<v Speaker 2>and always good to have their buy in.

60
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 1>That's funny observation. But to the point, this isn't limited

61
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 1>to just people graduating from high school. I mean other people, like,

62
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.039
<v Speaker 1>for example, if you're thirty or forty years old and

63
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.759
<v Speaker 1>you're interested in changing your life, you can pursue a

64
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.319
<v Speaker 1>job in the trades. It's not too late, correct, Oh.

65
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Not too late at all. I'm always a good time

66
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 2>to make a change. A lot of skills that come

67
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>from other industries are transferable, so we've got a lot

68
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 2>of people that get into our industry and never realizing

69
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>that building something with your hands. At the end of

70
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>the day, being back, you know, being able to look

71
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:21.759
<v Speaker 2>at that and say that's what I did today. It's

72
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.360
<v Speaker 2>very gratifying feeling. So we have a lot of people

73
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>that transition from other industries into our industry all the time.

74
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>That's great, and you know it is really really rewarding.

75
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I you know, jack of all trades, master and none I.

76
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.719
<v Speaker 1>But when you don't have an extra money to hire

77
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 1>someone in the trades, like when you're in one hundred

78
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.159
<v Speaker 1>and twenty five year old house and you start out

79
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>with your new wife, like me in Chicago. I used

80
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to go to the library and get books out and

81
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.759
<v Speaker 1>learn how to do things around the house, just teach myself.

82
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 1>And you know, when you've completed a project and every

83
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>time you walk into a room like I did that,

84
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>it really is. It is a rewarding thing. And I've

85
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>talked to folks who you know, worked high iron and

86
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 1>did some steel projects, and every time they drove by

87
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.599
<v Speaker 1>a building, it just overwhelming sense of pride that you

88
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>know what, if it wasn't for me, that wouldn't be there.

89
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.560
<v Speaker 2>That's the truth. For me. There's a lot of buildings.

90
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>One of my favorite that I like to tell the

91
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 2>students about is the Robling building, utiful blue and white

92
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 2>twisted building right there across the bridge, well ground up. Yeah,

93
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.399
<v Speaker 2>definitely a sense of pride for the people that work

94
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.439
<v Speaker 2>on it. When you do have kids. Fair warning to anybody,

95
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:23.439
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna get sick of hearing that, they're gonna get

96
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:25.959
<v Speaker 2>sick of driving by everything on seventy five and dead goes.

97
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I built that, I built that, I built that, you know,

98
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 2>So definitely works for us on the pride side. Keeps

99
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:33.240
<v Speaker 2>your kids in line, lets them know that you actually

100
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 2>do know what you're talking about.

101
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no question about it. Well, you know. And it's

102
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.639
<v Speaker 1>it's all all trades. I mean, they're just like any

103
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>it's plumbing, it's electric, it's HVAC. I mean there's a

104
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 1>whole there's a whole, huge number of areas.

105
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Ohio Valley Construction Education Foundation, which is ABC's education wing,

106
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 2>actually added multiple over the past five six years. We've

107
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.959
<v Speaker 2>got everything. Some craft labor is now a class you

108
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.040
<v Speaker 2>can take all. Like you said, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, you

109
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.959
<v Speaker 2>name it, it's pretty much covered. I think one thing

110
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.120
<v Speaker 2>that's very popular right now is we've seen a big

111
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 2>uptick in electricians. So with all the high schools I

112
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 2>go to, the Tools Program now has forty participating schools

113
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 2>from Van Wert down in northern Kentucky, and in every

114
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.319
<v Speaker 2>one of those high schools, never fails three or four

115
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 2>of the kids booming to get into that electric industry.

116
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.399
<v Speaker 2>So right now it seems like electrician is the most popular.

117
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 2>Maybe two years ago it was plumbers.

118
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.839
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing. And I had one of my plumb type

119
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 1>plumbing folks over the house and he was a journeyman

120
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.560
<v Speaker 1>and he had an apprentice with him. And apprentice a

121
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.879
<v Speaker 1>young man. I said, hey, just starting out. He was, yeah,

122
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.240
<v Speaker 1>And the journeyman's smid. He goes, this is an absolutely

123
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.439
<v Speaker 1>fantastic job. He said, I'm doing really well. I got

124
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>a family and we're all comfortable, and you know, I

125
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:53.639
<v Speaker 1>love the job. I love getting up to work and

126
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.160
<v Speaker 1>talking to people and solving their problems. And the apprentice

127
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>was really excited about his future career. So it's true

128
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>there are multiple opportunities out there in these trades. I

129
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>understand you're doing. The Tools Program is doing a sort

130
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:07.560
<v Speaker 1>of a fundraiser kickoff thing.

131
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Our second largest fundraiser of the year. It's going

132
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.399
<v Speaker 2>to be at Top Golf. It's this Thursday, March twentieth.

133
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Still have some tickets available if some people want to

134
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 2>get involved. Not only is it a wonderful event in

135
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:22.839
<v Speaker 2>terms of all you can eat, all you can drink,

136

137
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.519
<v Speaker 2>It is Top Golf, so while the weather might not

138
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.720
<v Speaker 2>be perfect every day, they still have heat and it

139
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.120
<v Speaker 2>is covered so rain or shine, we're always there. But

140
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.720
<v Speaker 2>it's a great event. All proceeds going to our Scholarships Foundation,

141
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 2>making sure that we can keep providing those transitional funds

142
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:44.839
<v Speaker 2>for these students as they leave high school and head

143
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:46.160
<v Speaker 2>into the skilled trades industry.

144
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>So who are you hoping will attend this? Are you

145
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.040
<v Speaker 1>looking for organizations that are in the trades, just like

146
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.160
<v Speaker 1>run of the mill folks like me who have really

147
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.399
<v Speaker 1>no connection with the trades. Who's invited?

148
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:57.959
<v Speaker 2>Well, don't see this with a good time, Brian, because

149
00:06:57.959 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 2>we will definitely put you on the list. If you're

150
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 2>going to you're gonna be there for us. We will

151
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 2>definitely get you on the list. But it's truly open

152
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 2>to anyone. The idea behind it is mainly if you

153
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 2>are a company that's interested in something like the Tools

154
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.720
<v Speaker 2>program getting apart, you know, becoming a part of this

155
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.399
<v Speaker 2>wonderful program that we have, it'd be great for you.

156
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.279
<v Speaker 2>If you're an educator looking to bring some skill trade

157
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.680
<v Speaker 2>career exposure to your school, get connected with some companies

158
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.199
<v Speaker 2>who are willing to provide some of those resources as well.

159
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.519
<v Speaker 2>It's good for you and just anybody that's looking to

160
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.759
<v Speaker 2>have a great time. It's always a great time at

161
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.399
<v Speaker 2>the event. Top Golf does an amazing job at getting

162
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:37.319
<v Speaker 2>us all set up, so it's pretty pretty easy deal

163
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 2>for me as the organizer. But everybody seems to have

164
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:43.000
<v Speaker 2>a great time. And like I said before, we've got

165
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.160
<v Speaker 2>lots surprises to give away, so we just want everybody

166
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.160
<v Speaker 2>to come out and have a great time, leave with

167
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.920
<v Speaker 2>something nice and all for a great cause.

168
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, and let me repeat something that I thought you

169
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:56.319
<v Speaker 1>heard open bar and barbecue, so you wow.

170
00:07:57.879 --> 00:07:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean when you're in the skilled trades industry,

171
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.439
<v Speaker 2>I gotta be honest. I was thinking of fahiita bar

172
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.399
<v Speaker 2>and I asked a couple of guys and then like, hey,

173
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.399
<v Speaker 2>we're construction guys. We don't want fijiitas. We want barbecue.

174
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.720
<v Speaker 2>So we went back to the barbecue. Menun it's been

175
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.160
<v Speaker 2>popular for the past three years, and can't deviate from

176
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:13.959
<v Speaker 2>what works, can we?

177
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:17.040
<v Speaker 1>No, you can't, and a lot of these You help

178
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>these young people find employment opportunities, correct, I mean you

179
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.839
<v Speaker 1>hook the people who are pursuing the trades as a

180
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 1>new career with employers who are searching for them.

181
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So the program as a whole, if we're thinking

182
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.559
<v Speaker 2>of the perfect prime example, Okay, we talk to a

183
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:35.960
<v Speaker 2>student in high school, we kind of get connected with

184
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.600
<v Speaker 2>them somewhere between their freshmen and junior year. Those are

185
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:40.080
<v Speaker 2>the meet and greets that I go out and have

186
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.320
<v Speaker 2>with all the schools that participate in the program once

187
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.759
<v Speaker 2>or twice a year. Once we spark that interest, we're

188
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.759
<v Speaker 2>looking to get that junior to have a summer job

189
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.679
<v Speaker 2>between their junior and senior year. Make sure that they

190
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.039
<v Speaker 2>like whatever trade they're thinking about, you know, try to

191
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:55.799
<v Speaker 2>get it the electrician. Want to get him out on

192
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:57.960
<v Speaker 2>that job shadow see see if that's what he likes.

193
00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:59.759
<v Speaker 2>If he likes that and he works through the summer,

194
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.360
<v Speaker 2>the perfect plan is that student then comes back to

195
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:05.440
<v Speaker 2>high school their senior year. That company has now hired them,

196
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:08.360
<v Speaker 2>so they are either co opting or they're just already

197
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 2>employed waiting to graduate. That year we have them apply

198
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:15.279
<v Speaker 2>for our scholarship. Nine times out of ten student wins

199
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.840
<v Speaker 2>a scholarship, they're already placed they graduate. So now we've

200
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.559
<v Speaker 2>given them direct placement. We've given them a scholarship of

201
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.159
<v Speaker 2>five to twenty five hundred dollars for transition money that

202
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.320
<v Speaker 2>can be used for whatever they need, whether it's a

203
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 2>down payment for a car, clothing, tools, anything like that.

204
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:33.279
<v Speaker 2>And then the pure focus of the program is once

205
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 2>they get out of high school, we've got them direct place,

206
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.639
<v Speaker 2>We've got them a toolkit, we've got them a scholarship.

207
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 2>I like to tell any student, once we get you

208
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.080
<v Speaker 2>into the industry, if you figure out that it's not

209
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.320
<v Speaker 2>for you, that's just what it is. It's just not

210
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.480
<v Speaker 2>for you. Because we've opened every door, we've made it

211
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.360
<v Speaker 2>as simple as possible, and we just want to make

212
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.279
<v Speaker 2>sure that we're sparking that interest. So every time I'm

213
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.039
<v Speaker 2>on your show, I can't can't. I was going to

214
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:55.720
<v Speaker 2>say this at the end, but I want to kind

215
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:57.639
<v Speaker 2>of plug you out. I got to thank you and Joe.

216
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.960
<v Speaker 2>You guys have an amazing platform you guys have us

217
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:02.919
<v Speaker 2>on the support that you've given us and allowed us

218
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>to be on your platform, promote our program, promote the

219
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.120
<v Speaker 2>great things we're doing. It's amazing. I'm Brian. We couldn't

220
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:10.840
<v Speaker 2>do it without you guys, And I just want you

221
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>to know that every time I'm on your show never fails.

222
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:18.639
<v Speaker 2>A grandpa, a mom, a dad, somebody reaches out to

223
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.080
<v Speaker 2>me because they heard me talking. And every single time

224
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:24.519
<v Speaker 2>that's happened, we've got their grandson or son or daughter place.

225
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:27.559
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome. That's exactly why I love having you on

226
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.320
<v Speaker 1>the show because think about what you just said. You

227
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 1>got some a kid just out of high school already

228
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:36.440
<v Speaker 1>making money, employed in something that he already hears, she

229
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:40.240
<v Speaker 1>already has familiarity with. Because of this introductory component, they're

230
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 1>making money as opposed to heading over and sitting in

231
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.960
<v Speaker 1>music appreciation class and a four year college degree. That's

232
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.159
<v Speaker 1>digging them a giant hole in the ground in dat

233
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:50.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, fast forward four years. They probably got a

234
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>big bank account, savings account, maybe they're already participating in

235
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:57.720
<v Speaker 1>the retirement funding. They're working every single day, and somebody

236
00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.879
<v Speaker 1>else is coming out with a sheepskin from a university

237
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>with a music appreciation degree or like my degree, political

238
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:06.159
<v Speaker 1>science degree and kind of puzzling at what am I

239
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna do? Gonna be a barista at Starbucks. I just

240
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>love the program. I love the concept. I can't thank
