College Is Not Job Training: 4 Myths Parents Need to Rethink
Description
College application season brings pressure, opinions, and plenty of myths about what makes higher education valuable. This episode unpacks the biggest fallacy of higher education - that college is job training - and explores four common misconceptions parents often hear: choosing majors only for profitability, dismissing the value of minors, chasing prestige instead of fit when selecting a school, and assuming general education courses are a waste of time. With a mix of practical guidance and communication theory, the conversation reframes how to think about majors, minors, schools, and gen eds while offering parents tools to support their teens through the application process and beyond.
