College or military, that’s what everyone was doing. That’s what we were told to do all through… school. When I came… to Rosedale, it was a different type of schooling. Because they are actually interested in what you’re learning… You’re not just being forced different subjects upon you. And once a week we are able to get hands-on… do projects out in the facility. Which really gave you a leg up when you went into interviews and they asked you ‘Now do you have any experience?

The employees here do everything they can to make sure you are ready to go out in the field… They will help you find a job. They will help you with your resume… I think the interview class here… it’s very valuable. They teach you how to sit down in a professional manner and talk to someone and highlight your skills… If you take that class and you do really well… you are going to have a great-paying job. And you’re going to have a bright future.

I have been around a lot of technical education environments over the years. Rosedale is unique in that they can offer the whole package — passionate staff, first-class facilities, and a top-notch education. They strive to continually improve in all areas which reflects in the quality of students they are putting out into the field. I would highly suggest if you are considering a technical education, to contact them, visit the school, and you will see first hand.

Forbes Business Council: Gen Z’s Toolbelt Generation Is Missing Important Tools—Here’s How Leaders Can Help

In 2024, The Wall Street Journal published an article, “How Gen Z Is Becoming the Toolbelt Generation” (paywall), about students choosing the trades over traditional four-year colleges. There were many reasons, including lower educational costs, less time in the classroom, increased earnings for skilled labor because of skilled-labor shortages and investing in AI-proof professions. I can attest that this trend is real. Enrollment in technical colleges like mine has risen sharply. But many educators and employers are noticing something else: that the toolbelt generation may be missing a few important tools—specifically emotional maturity, social skills and accountability.

I’m a Mechanic: 3 Signs It’s Time To Say Goodbye to Your Old Car

If you have an old vehicle, you might be getting frustrated with a frequent need for repairs or a lack of features that new cars have. If that’s the case, you might be itching to ditch your old car and get a new one, especially with maintenance and repair costs outpacing inflation over the past year. On average, consumers spend $838 each time they get their car fixed, Kelley Blue Book reported. However, the cost of buying a new or used vehicle is also getting more expensive, and in many cases, the most economical way to be a vehicle owner is to keep your car for as long as possible. Even if a repair bill seems like a tough pill to swallow, it can quickly pay for itself.
