Description

A lot has changed in the last 30-40 years when it comes to higher education.

Are our assumptions about the value of a college degree still valid?

What has changed?

  1. The outlandish cost of a college education
  2. The temptation to major in fake subjects
  3. The change in job prospects
  4. The cratering of quality in college graduates

In this episode, I lay bare the truth about what’s happening in today’s college admissions environment.

Who should pursue a traditional college path?

Who should pursue a non-traditional path?

What is at stake?
