The second hour dives into the future of work and opportunity as Dr. Ken questions why trades like electrical and plumbing require nearly a decade of training — and whether those paths are being undervalued in Milwaukee. The Top 5 @ 5 brings major headlines, from new data centers and bus patrols to the passing of GPS pioneer Gladys West. As texts and YouTube chat light up, Dr. Ken closes the show discussing Rufus King students walking out in protest of ICE activity, raising questions about youth, activism, and education. The show wraps early for high school basketball, leaving listeners with one big takeaway: the choices we make now determine who gets left behind later.
