College Talk Ep. 21 - Why Even Bother?

Why go to college? It's expensive and a ton of work... is it worth it? That's what we're going to talk about today because the answer is YES! Today we talk about the why, and I define what I mean when I say "college" (apprenticeships, trade schools, community colleges, private colleges/universities, or public universities). I also have four different voices talk about why they think college is important, so if you don't want to listen to me... try listening to them, or the five sources below!

The funnel method I talked about? That was from an amazing presentation called "Flipping the Funnel: Upending Traditional Student Advisement Through a Problem Solving Approach" by the amazing folks at Berea College.
