The Talking TradesmanBBC One. Sunday Morning Live. Mad when you actually say it out loud. Today I was sat on national TV talking about student debt, university… and the pressure on young people to follow one “expected” path. I made a point of this 👇 The trades are not second best. They’re not the option you fall into. They are skilled, respected, financially solid careers. University is right for some people. But it’s not the only route to building a good life. We need to stop confusing academic education with intelligence. If one young person watching today realises there’s another path open to them, then it was worth sitting on that sofa. Proud moment. But more importantly — proud to represent the trades properly on a prime national platform. #BBCOne #SundayMorningLive #TheTrades #SkilledCareers #TalkingTradesman
