I recently came upon a thought-provoking Wall Street Journal article discussing the opinion of why Americans are losing faith in the value of higher education, and it got me thinking. Considering the financial stewardship around post-high school education, it's essential to be wise and intentional when it comes to college and career planning and pursuits. Joining me today is my friend, Lisa Marker-Robbins, with over 25 years of experience and impacting over 4,000 students, helps us navigate the crucial decisions surrounding post-high school education. In this episode, John and Lisa discuss: <ul><li>Is there an erosion of confidence?</li><li>Post-high school education decisions</li><li>The importance of early career clarity</li><li>Parental support in college applications</li></ul>Key Takeaways: <ul><li>The complex higher education landscape prompts an examination of educational pathways and career objectives.</li><li>The importance of discussions, intentionality and pursuing paths that align with personal fulfillment and unique aspirations.</li><li>Understanding the critical role of early career exploration can significantly impact a student's college journey</li><li>Parents play a pivotal role in helping their teens make informed decisions by providing support, initiating open conversations</li></ul>“There are a lot of benefits to going to college. It shows that you can do hard things; you build your adulting skills while living in a dorm or apartment. But the end goal is a career where your kid will flourish.” — Lisa Marker-Robbins ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: WALL STREET JOURNAL ARTICLE - "Why Americans Have Lost Faith in the Value of College:" <a href="https://www.wsj.com/us-news/education/why-americans-have-lost-faith-in-the-value-of-college-b6b635f2?st=enissi47waduz79&amp;reflink=article_imessage_share" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.wsj.com/us-news/education/why-americans-have-lost-faith-in-the-value-of-college-b6b635f2?st=enissi47waduz79&amp;reflink=article_imessage_share</a> LISA'S COMPLIMENTARY ON-DEMAND VIDEO: <ul><li>How to guide your teen to choose the right major, college, &amp; career (...without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret): <a href="https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/course" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/course</a></li></ul>CONNECT WITH LISA: <ul><li>Website: <a href="http://www.flourishcoachingco.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">http://www.flourishcoachingco.com/</a></li><li>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-marker-robbins/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-marker-robbins/</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co/</a></li><li>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/</a></li><li>College &amp; Career Clarity podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/college-and-career-clarity/id1605221043?i=1000547915852" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/college-and-career-clarity/id1605221043?i=1000547915852</a> &amp; <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4AXJMim6LPwmgnoS2WbyBQ?si=yF5QrGFGQ5-yc1a1ey-_kQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer...
