PASSAGE
A workforce development counselor is speaking with Marcus, who was recently laid off from a manufacturing job he held for 12 years. Marcus tells the counselor: "I want to retrain for a career in IT, but I'm 47 and I've heard it's hard to break in at my age. My unemployment benefits run out in five months. I have a family to support and I can't afford to be unemployed for long." The counselor presents two pathways: a six-month intensive IT bootcamp that leads directly to entry-level certification, or a two-year community college associate degree program in computer networking that offers stronger long-term earning potential but requires enduring a longer period without stable income.
Marcus responds to the counselor's presentation of options. Which response most effectively articulates a constraint-based rationale for choosing between the two pathways, as expected in a high-level advising conversation?
