Tom Sosnoff and Scott Sheridan tackle one of the most debated questions in career planning: is college still worth it? The hosts break down the hard numbers, revealing that college graduates earn $1.2 million more over their lifetime than high school grads, with unemployment rates nearly half that of non-graduates. They push back hard against the anti-college narrative, arguing that the networking, soft skills, and personal growth from four years of higher education pay dividends far beyond what any spreadsheet can capture. The episode also features a fiery rant on 50-year mortgages and why financial paternalism is holding back working families, plus real-time market analysis as the S&P swings 80 handles and Google gives back its morning gains.

The college debate has never been more relevant as young professionals weigh rising tuition costs against uncertain job markets. With unemployment for college grads at 2.5% versus 4.2% for high school grads, and lifetime earnings gaps exceeding seven figures, the data tells a clear story even as social media influencers push alternative paths. This episode cuts through the noise with real numbers and decades of hiring experience from two entrepreneurs who have built multiple successful companies.
