College has long been hailed as a crucial stepping stone towards success and prosperity. However, an increasing number of individuals are questioning whether the exorbitant price tag associated with higher education is truly justified. As the cost of college continues to surge, the debate intensifies, questioning whether the investment in a college degree is truly worth it in today's rapidly evolving economic landscape.

Josh and Casey do a deep dive on the subject and bring in some insightful statistics as always to purport their opinions. To start, the guys give their initial reactions to the statistics as well as going through some of the true purposes of college today such as improving your social skills and finding your purpose. Next, the guys share their college experiences including if it was worth it monetarily and how their friends/themselves fared in the job market after.

Moving on to some statistics, Casey shares some stats on college enrollment by gender as well as how many graduates are actually finding good jobs. Josh shares some facts on the cost of college before the guys discuss some potential reasons for the huge drop off in enrollment from guys. Getting into some solutions, the guys bring up why we need a big change in early education for boys as well as having some experienced male role models before ending with lobbying the government for cheaper college.
