Inside the Classroom: What One Teacher Says About the Next Generation’s Career Choices with Nare Movsisyan

Send us a textThe landscape of education and career preparation is changing dramatically, and today's high school students are navigating these shifts with new perspectives on what success looks like. In this eye-opening conversation with high school teacher Nare Movsisyan, we explore the significant movement away from traditional four-year colleges toward trade schools and certification programs as students seek faster routes to meaningful employment.Nare, who brings a decade of experience in education, reveals how students with clear career goals are increasingly choosing specialized training over general education. This pragmatic approach represents a fundamental shift in how younger generations view the purpose and value of education.The episode uncovers critical gaps in our education system, particularly around career readiness. Despite the importance of preparing students for their futures, high schools often lack resources to adequately inform students about the realities of different careers. Basic professional skills—interviewing techniques, resume writing, professional etiquette—remain largely untaught. Through this conversation, we confront the reality that career education should begin much earlier and be approached more systematically, working backward from career goals rather than focusing exclusively on college preparation.Ready to rethink how we prepare young people for their futures?
