College is Bullsh*t | Business is Bullsh*t Ep 37
College used to be sold as the obvious path to a better life.
Now? The cost keeps climbing, the value keeps getting harder to prove, and a lot of graduates are walking away with debt, a credential, and no clear path to use either one.
In this episode, James, Jared, and Jon go after the modern college machine: runaway tuition, student loans, broken incentives, useless credentials, outdated curriculums, administrative bloat, and the cultural brainwashing that tells kids they're failures if they don't get a degree.
They also argue the other side: college can still matter. The experience, the network, the structure, and certain careers still make it valuable. But the days of blindly telling every 18-year-old to borrow six figures and "figure it out later" should be over.
College isn't always bullsh*t.
But the way we sell it, finance it, and worship it?
Absolute bullsh*t.
