This book is to get BOTH parents and students to open up to alternative educational paths to careers in manufacturing. Since it is a DUAL FRONT COVER book, the manuscripts are 180 degrees to one another. In the middle are questions for each reading group to ask the other engaging in active discussion on this subject matter. The artwork on both covers are the inverse of one another. Parent Edition features a black background, while the Student Edition features a white background. This book is designed to have both young people and parents have dialog early in their lives on what they want to do prior to graduation to high school. By considering manufacturing many might find success that does not include a 4+year degree, and also reduce the need for student debt. Too many of our youth are strapped with student debt, while at the same time going into a field that has a crowded field of applicants. Meanwhile MFG positions are desperate for qualitifed applicants for good paying jobs.
