Rethinking College, Careers and the Future of Work in SoCal
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A college education isn’t the guarantee it once was. Rising tuition costs and growing uncertainty about whether a degree will lead to a stable, well-paying career are prompting many people to rethink what higher education should look like. If college is no longer the only path to success, what needs to change?
In this episode of SoCal Voices, educator and entrepreneur Kalista Combs explores how we can rethink learning, work, and family life by reshaping traditional approaches to workforce development, from skilled trades to AI. It’s a conversation about access, purpose, and creating better pathways forward.
