Rethinking college : a guide to thriving without a degree / by Klein, Karin,author.(CARDINAL)894480;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 233-235).Introduction -- A note on how to read this book -- College or not? -- Self-assessment -- Volunteer work -- Apprenticeships and internships -- Entrepreneurs -- Starting at the bottom -- Travel and outdoor adventures -- The creatives -- Skilled trades -- Jobs that no longer require degrees -- Military -- Community colleges -- Conclusion."You don't have to go to college. There's a big and growing disconnect in America. For years, we've been told that a bachelor's degree is the only path to success. But not everyone needs a four-year college degree or is better off with one. Award-winning journalist Karin Klein has written a groundbreaking book that sets out a new path for our country's future and helps students and families navigate alternative paths, including white-collar apprenticeships, certificate programs, entrepreneurship, creative careers, residential public-service work, and more. Through practical advice and real-world examples that show exactly how others have succeeded, Klein examines why the traditional college-for-all model has been overhyped and is growing less relevant in the post-pandemic world. She guides readers through the broad range of exciting and often well-paid careers that don't require a degree, including ones where most people are college graduates. With careers including pilots, costume designers, influencers, writers, computer programmers, corporate headhunters, film editors, and so many more, the possibilities are seemingly endless for those who choose to not pursue a four-year degree. Whether you're a high school student unsure of your next steps, a parent seeking guidance for your child, a school counselor who wants to offer your students more and better options, or an adult looking to pivot careers, No College Required is a must-read for anyone seeking an alternative to the traditional college path. Don't go to college because everyone says to--find the path that's right for you."--

The world is our classroom : how one family used nature and travel to shape an extraordinary education / by Ross, Cindy,author.(CARDINAL)522324; Gladfelter, Bryce Ross,illustrator.; Grout, Pam,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)345228;
Cindy's story begins in the Rocky Mountain wilderness on a unique and extraordinary journey: two parents leading their young children 3,100 miles on the backs of llamas. This Canada-Mexico trek illustrated to Cindy and her husband what experiential education can do. Inspired by the experience, they went on to create a new way of supplementing their children's education, focusing on two arenas for learning: the natural world and travel. In this age of world connection, it is important to raise broad-minded and empathetic children who are knowledgeable about other cultures. To accomplish this goal, Cindy chose an unorthodox approach: she orchestrated learning opportunities for her children, Sierra and Bryce, in twelve countries. The family traveled the world, moving about on foot and bicycle, living simply and intimately. But just as important, and more accessible for many parents, were the opportunities for learning closer to home. These adventures brought intangible gifts: values--such as compassion, empathy, resilience, self-reliance, and gratitude, among others--not always fostered in a traditional curriculum but crucially important to raising children. By sharing her story, along with honest insights from her children about the importance of their unusual education, Cindy aims to empower parents to believe they can be their children's best and most important educators. It is for parents who are seeking inspiration, who love a good story, and who are looking for an unorthodox way to raise the happiest, healthiest, and brightest children they can.--

The independent learner's guide to successful home-schooling / by Paige, Faye,author.;
