We have updated this career resource to make it more user-friendly for teachers. It is now easier for teachers to quickly access short career overview video clips to help non-college bound students make a more informed career decision. It is a collection of careers that do not require a 4-year degree and of workers in the top 25% earn at least ~$55,000. 

This is one of many resources that will be used in our On-Demand release of "Alternatives to 4 Year Colleges" for the week of April 26th.

Thanks to Brian Page for spending 20+ hours combing through and sharing this with the community! 

He created a spreadsheet of careers that don’t require a 4 year degree, aren’t in a declining career field, and in most cases pay more than $30K. He did this for classes filled with non-college bound students and showed a 90 second career video to begin most of these classes and dubbed it "Career of the Day." He linked to the YouTube videos (click here) because the Career One Stop videos are slow, depending on the WiFi. Here's a link to the resource where Brian found these Career One Stop career summaries and videos.

Great opportunity to integrate these videos into our latest mini-unit: Alternatives to a 4-Year College
