In this special Presidents Day episode, Jake and Dylan sit down with 18-year-old high school senior Clinton to talk about one big question:

Is college still worth it in 2026?

Clinton is in his second semester of senior year, recently accepted into Georgia State, considering trade school, and seriously questioning whether taking on debt is the right move in a world dominated by AI, entrepreneurship, and changing career paths.

This episode dives into:

• Is college a guarantee or a gamble?
• The pressure of “decision day” and social expectations
• Trade school vs. traditional college
• Entrepreneurship at 18
• Blue collar opportunity in a digital world
• How AI is changing the value of degrees
• Taking a gap year and betting on yourself

Clinton shares a mature, thoughtful perspective on risk, independence, and building long-term success early. Jake and Dylan reflect on their own paths, from college to real estate to entrepreneurship, and debate what the future of education really looks like.
