Skip College Debt: The CE Shop Offers an Alternative Path to a Meaningful Career for High School Graduates

As college visits and applications begin, The CE Shop empowers students to join the workforce faster

DENVER, COLORADO / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2025 / As high school graduates consider their next steps after graduation, meaningful career paths are more accessible and diverse than ever. While a traditional four-year college degree is still a valuable option for many, The CE Shop offers something a little bit different–a faster entry into the workforce via the real estate industry. This allows them to build a career (and income) without the burden of significant college debt.

Recent trends show that younger generations are embracing this new perspective on higher education. A 2023 ECMC Group survey found that while most students still strongly believe in the value of a postsecondary education, nearly 63% of high schoolers are exploring alternatives to the traditional four-year college. Influencing factors include rising concerns over student debt and a demand for direct career training, which is driving interest in alternative paths to high-demand professions.

The CE Shop offers just such a path–providing fast, flexible education designed for success in the real estate industry. With flexible, online pre-licensing courses, students can choose from four essential real estate roles depending on their personal interests: real estate agent, home inspector, mortgage loan originator, and appraiser. Each of these professions is fundamental to the housing market, a sector that serves over $3.4 billion of Gross Domestic Product in the U.S., and accounts for approximately 15-18% of the nation’s total GDP contribution.
