Episode Details

Jaeden Briley, a senior from a Michigan farm, faces a tough decision: pursue veterinary studies at the University of Findlay or train as a welder. Her rural district prioritizes trades over four-year degrees, with students often lacking resources and facing challenges like long drives and limited advanced classes. Despite these obstacles, many students value their tight-knit community and prefer it to urban life. Leaders advocate for more state funding in career tech programs and business incentives for local jobs, reflecting a different view of success that prioritizes happiness and community over degrees and dollars.
