Ep. 23 - Alternative Career Roadmaps (Part 2 of 2) // Hannah Maruyama
The Christy-Faith Show
07/24/24 • 28 min
Christy Faith continues the conversation with Hannah Maruyama, discussing the concept of vocational creativity and challenging the notion that a college degree is necessary for success. Hannah emphasizes the importance of helping children explore different career pathways and highlights five degree-free options: getting a job, on-the-job training or apprenticeships, earning a license or certification, building or buying a business, and learning a skill. Christy also addresses common misconceptions about college and offers phrases that parents can use to respond to critics of their decision to pursue alternative paths.
Takeaways:
- Colleges often white-label success as a result of obtaining a degree, but success is more closely tied to factors like family support and resources.
- Parents can help their children explore different career pathways through vocational creativity, which involves being aware of the work happening around them and recognizing the variety of jobs available.
- There are five degree-free options for children after high school: getting a job, on-the-job training or apprenticeships, earning a license or certification, building or buying a business, and learning a skill.
- Parents can respond to critics of their decision to pursue alternative paths by asking questions that highlight the financial realities of college and the importance of aligning education with the desired life outcomes.
- It is important to challenge the notion that a college degree is the only path to success and to consider alternative options that may better suit a child's interests and goals.
About today’s guest:
Hannah Maruyama and her husband Ryan build custom career roadmaps to help 16-20 year olds get great jobs without needing colleges degrees. They also run Degree Free, a top U.S. Careers podcast!

-SHOW NOTES-
00:00 Dr. Brian Ray discusses the importance and effectiveness of homeschooling based on extensive research and personal experience.
04:57 Despite common criticisms, research shows homeschooling is beneficial for children's social and emotional well-being. Dr. Brian Ray argues against government regulation, citing lack of evidence for harm.
08:07 Public schools have high regulations but low proficiency in reading and math, homeschooling parents are dedicated and misconceptions about homeschooling exist, and concerns about abuse and neglect in homeschooling are addressed.
12:25 Homeschooling teaches critical thinking and values, and accusations of indoctrination with right-wing or Nazi beliefs are unfair; higher regulations may not prevent abuse in homeschooling.
16:50 Police should not profile based on appearance, extended school breaks can lead to harmful behavior, traditional schools are not inherently safer, and government controls are not effectively preventing sexual maltreatment of public school students.
22:08 Homeschooling in the US has little regulation, leading to potential dangers for children, but it also has a lower rate of child abuse fatalities compared to institutional schooling.
28:28 Homeschooling provides more attention, protection from bullying, and better academic education, as public schools overlook trauma and government control over homeschooling is unconstitutional.
33:02 Laws based on emotions may not protect children and can erode freedoms, while societal issues like music degradation require a change in thinking, and participation in a homeschooling study is encouraged.
