Description
Tom Sosnoff and Scott Sheridan tackle the heated debate over whether college is still worth it, revealing that 25% of unemployed workers in a key demographic hold college degrees while lifetime earnings still favor graduates by $1.2 million. The hosts break down alternatives like trade schools and boot camps, share personal stories about applying to just one college, and explain how the upcoming Lossdog software will let users compare salary projections across different career paths. The episode also features a rant on 50-year mortgages and why financial paternalism hurts working families, plus market analysis covering Google's post-earnings volatility and weakness in AMD and Nvidia.
