Takeaways: The cost of college has been increasing at an exponential rate, making it a financial burden for many families. The value of a college degree is subjective and depends on individual circumstances and career goals. The current education system is flawed and not data-driven, leading to outdated curriculum and irrelevant skills. Parents should prepare their children for multiple scenarios and help them make informed decisions about their education. Alternative paths, such as vocational schools or entrepreneurship, can provide valuable skills and financial stability. The perception of college as a default option needs to be challenged, and the focus should be on what makes individuals happy and successful. 🔗 CONNECT WITH Eric Liu & Nis 👥 Eric's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericzliu/ 👥 Nis's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nisfrome/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH YOUNG HAN 👥 Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/younghan/ 🐦 X : https://twitter.com/younghan_ 💻 Website : https://www.alwayshan.com 🔗 CONNECT WITH THE GIRL DAD SHOW Website: https://thegirldadshow.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheGirlDadShow/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGirlDadShow TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thegirldadshow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-girl-dad-show 🎙 ABOUT OUR HOST Young Han is a highly accomplished entrepreneur, investor, business coach and parent who is widely recognized for his expertise in helping small business owners reach their first 1 million dollar milestone in annual revenues.
