Abstract | An increasing preference for nondegree credentials evident prior to the pandemic has become even more apparent. Nondegree credentials can and sometimes should be part of a postsecondary education, but the inchoate credentials environment encourages poor planning and unwise decisions. The competitive advantages that a balanced education can offer can be achieved (and may be achieved more fully) through a trajectory that includes "small bites." Enabling students to realize the opportunities while avoiding the risks of credentials will require expanded and more widely accessible advising leading to clear pathways that integrate nondegree credentials within purposeful pathways. All students, from liberal arts majors to those seeking to become licensed plumbers and electricians, deserve a "full meal," one offering both real-life preparation for remunerative careers and education for satisfying lives. But in order to make this possible in the postpandemic era, students must be enabled to understand how "small bites" can contribute to a balanced diet and make it possible for them to obtain just such a meal.
