As soon as Jacob Bradley graduates from high school, he’s got a full-time job waiting for him.
The Montgomery County (Kentucky) High School senior signed a letter of intent to join Fast Flow Plumbing after his graduation this month.
He'll join the company as an apprentice and work under a master plumber for two years before earning his journeyman's license.
Yes, no student loan debt, no genders studies requirements and no woke indoctrination.
Jacob says about his unique decision, “it’s just more of my style. I was never really wanting to be an accountant or sit down. I enjoy working with my hands a lot and just the environment and those type of people.”
Jacob adds, ““my parents didn't go to college, my sister did, so I got to see the point of view on both. And, all three of them were pretty successful, in my opinion…And when I see the opportunity that I don't need to go to school, and I can learn either way and do just fine, I figured there's no point in having a debt in anything, if you don't need to.”
Lacy Gross, the counselor at Jacob’s high school hopes to grow their co-op program to encourage more students into the trades. She says “there is nothing to be ashamed about going immediately into the workforce, so I think it's awesome. We can celebrate our athletes who are going on and doing something awesome, but we can also celebrate students like Jacob.”
