College: is it a golden ticket or an overpriced trap? In this episode of TUF I step away from my usual dad and parenting content to dive into a hot-button topic that affects millions—college, student loans, and the real value of higher education.

As a college graduate (who switched majors after burning out on pre-med), I share my personal experience navigating higher ed and my take on whether a degree is really necessary for success. We break down:

🎓 Why college isn’t for everyone—and why that’s okay

💰 The predatory side of student loans and government-backed debt

🛠️ The rising demand for skilled trades vs. traditional degrees

🏫 Why public universities are absurdly expensive (and what should change)

🤖 The impact of AI on job markets and future career paths

Whether you’re a student, a parent, or just questioning the system, this episode will give you an unfiltered perspective on higher education, debt, and real-world career choices.

👂 Listen now and decide: Is college truly worth the cost?
