Dave Kozak
Everyone says college is the path to success—but is that still true? Featuring Wharton’s Peter Cappelli, this episode dives into the hidden realities of higher education: only a fraction of students graduate on time, employers prioritize experience over degrees, and student loans can become lifelong burdens. The hosts unpack why the system is shifting—and what families need to know before making one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.
