For this week's Scatterbrain Session, Joel and Matt add to their conversation(s) on labor and career with a throwback to last year's "Stuck in a Rut" sessions (See episodes 59, 62, 65, 67), in which they discussed the pressure to fit into workplace culture.

This week, Joel and Matt reflect on their conversation with Lucinda Bowen (episode 94, "Labors of Love") and consider the relationship of education to the culture and values of America's workforce, as well as the importance of properly recognizing aptitude.
