    • 17: Era of College Degree vs. Skill Set

      Entering 2023, we are now in an age of Open AI paired with crippling student loan debt crisis, yet somehow society keeps telling us a college degree is what will get you paid in the market. But that's only for a small minority of degrees!


      Jen & Gen spend a little bit of time opening your eyes to how acquiring skillsets trumps the degrees and what you can do about it if you're stuck trying to "figure it out" or holding yourself back thinking you "need" to get a degree or work in the field of your degree.


      This episode is for those who wants to make a pivot in their life, break your own personal beliefs about school and what you can do, and/or if you're stuck not sure what the next steps are.


      Take massive action folks. We are here for it!
