Your guides to a really great financial future.

Tom and Don are talking real money.

The times they are a change in, ladies and gentlemen.

Hi, welcome to Talking Real Money,

the All Things Money program that airs just about every single day of the week,

at least weekdays.

I'm Don McDonald, Tom Cox over there.

You're listening.

We're glad you're doing that.

That's really important to us because if you weren't there listening,

there would be no point in us doing this.

So, you know, thanks.

Anyway, we want to talk about something a little bit different today, and I know this is not a topic that is necessarily top of mind for most of our slightly older, albeit

not elderly like us, audience.

We're old.

And when we put this up, it's gonna be May.

And that means that kids are graduating from high school and college and they're going out into the world thinking or particularly graduating from high school, but let's say college too. And they're going out in the world thinking, okay, what am I going to do? What's the next step? What am I going to learn? What am I going to do to get a job? Now that I'm out of college and I've got this degree, what's it worth? What's it going to make me? hey, I'm going to, I've got an education degree. I'm going to be a teacher and make $43,000 a year if I can find a job. What are you going to do with the future? That is a, and in this age of artificial intelligence and automation, what are you or your children or your grandchildren going to do?

What's the next step?

How do they decide where to go with their earning future?

They've got decades of earnings potential ahead of them, and I think they're desperately

in need of some great advice.
