The effectiveness of trade schools and the 70-20-10 model of learning are discussed. The disconnect between colleges and industry, as well as the role of colleges in instilling values, are examined. The value of real-world experience and the misalignment of degrees and job requirements are explored. The conversation concludes by calling for a change in the narrative on degrees and a reevaluation of the education system.
