There is a longstanding, widely held belief that the best chance at a better future is to go off to college – especially for people from marginalized communities.Whether it was your teacher, general political rhetoric, or one of many sitcoms that reflect middle class American life, the message was to go to school or risk failure — dismissing millions of people who decided not to go to college and created viable, sustainable careers in trade professions, from manufacturing and welding to plumbing and software engineering.And now, as college costs continue to rise and more people want to develop a sense of financial stability, education and careers in the trades through vocational schools are becoming not only more accepted, but also encouraged across all factors of society. In our latest episode, host Kai Wright talks to Maya Bhattacharjee-Marcantonio, co-founder of The Marcy Lab School in Brooklyn, New York, and Eric Kelderman, a senior writer at the Chronicle of Higher Education about the shifting cultural cachet around earning a 4-year college degree. We talk about what motivates some students to pursue vocational education, what this change might mean long-term for Americans across demographics, and why some still prefer a professional path that includes college.Support of WNYC's coverage of economic mobility and opportunity is provided in part by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

It seems that with everything happening in the world around us, we are more consumed with news than ever before. In the context of college, there is a flurry of information about current and future issues. In this episode, Dr. P. and Paul Fain discuss college trends with a focus on how to interpret news from multiple sources. Paul is a contributing editor at Inside Higher Education, a leading news outlet focused on college issues. Paul joined Inside Higher Ed in 2011 after a six-year stint covering leadership and finance for The Chronicle of Higher Education. Paul has also worked in higher education public relations, with Widmeyer Communications, but couldn't stay away from reporting. A former staff writer for C-VILLE Weekly, a newspaper in Charlottesville, Virginia, Paul has written for The New York Times, Washington City Paper, and Mother Jones. He has won a few journalism awards, including one for beat reporting from the Education Writers Association and the Dick Schaap Excellence in Sports Journalism Award. Paul got hooked on journalism while working too many hours at The Review, the student newspaper at the University of Delaware, where he earned a degree in political science in 1996. A native of Dayton, Ohio, and a long-suffering fan of the Cincinnati Bengals, Paul plays guitar in a band with more possible names than polished songs. The Did You Know segment suggests a resource for college students who are parents of young children. The Ask Dr. P. segment features a listener's question about managing college applications.Time Markers02:00-Welcome Paul Fain06:09-Paul's Typical Week as a Journalist10:55-Hot College-Related Topics19:21-Did You Know: Resources for College Student Parents20:08-Ask the Expert: Paul's Advice for Interpreting College News41:23-Ask Dr. P: Managing College ApplicationsResources Mentioned in this EpisodeNews Source: Inside Higher Education Podcast: The Key with Inside Higher EdInstitute for Women's Policy Research: Report on College Student Parents News Source: Chronicle of Higher EducationNews Source: Education DiveUniversity of Delaware Campus Newspaper: The ReviewGot a question about college?

Solutions for Higher Education with Southern Utah University President Scott L Wyatt
Featured Quote: "The business side of higher education is really a neglected part of higher education for the most part. In part, because higher education is just such a complicated structure in the first place. I mean, with money coming from all sorts of areas and all sorts of forms—tuition and grants and public funding and payoffs from the endowment and so on—so, it’s difficult to follow all that. And on top of that, higher education is just a very fractured environment anyway, very siloed and very big. A lot of institutions are huge. So, to try to get a handle on that, it’s difficult for a leader to try to turn the boat, so to speak. But, knowing where you are, knowing where you stand is absolutely vital. Absolutely the first step." Full Transcript Article: Enough 'Do More With Less.' It’s Time for Colleges to Find Actual Efficiencies.

Brad Wolverton covers college sports for the Chronicle of Higher Education, seeing it from the view of academia reporting, and analyzing several of the issues that affect a campus as a whole.

Though she hesitates to call herself a “writer” (she thinks it sounds self-important), author and columnist Rachel Toor has written her way into a new Young Adult novel and onto my list of writers I want to be when I grow up. You’ll remember I blogged about her wise but rude writing advice, and as soon as I hit publish, I emailed her to invite her to the show. Not only does she write monthly and bi-monthly columns for The Chronicle of Higher Education and Running Times Magazine respectively, she’s published three nonfiction books. Her latest work and first novel, On the Road to Find Out, dropped in 2014 on Farrar, Straus, and Giroux. In this two-part interview, you’ll learn about Rachel’s career (she’s been a publishing house editor and an admissions counselor at an Ivy League school) and how authors lose some creative control at commercial houses versus university presses. Plus, she tells us what exactly fiction writers mean when they say they can’t wait to see what their characters do next. Also, in the Writer’s Check In, I give you a tidbit about my experience with submitting to The Reject Pile, which was featured in episode 13.
