Let's Talk College: Making a Case For and Against College with New York Times Money Columnist Ron Lieber
Manage episode 432804168 series 3519049
Season 3 of the podcast is here and I’m honestly more excited about this season than any other. Because every single episode is a topic/conversation that YOU requested.
We’re kicking it off with a month-long series on COLLEGE, where we’re talking to experts and parents about what one college specialist has called “The most emotionally fraught decision many families will ever make.”
How do you know college is even right for your kid? WHEN should you start saving? Is it even worth it or necessary, anymore?
According to the US Census, 62% of US workers do NOT have a college degree and only 47% of Americans say it’s worth it, but only if you don’t have to take out any loans.
Ron Lieber, the New York Times’ Money columnist, has been writing about this topic for decades. He’s also a dad, dropping off his eldest daughter at college this fall.
Ron helps us to untangle this complex puzzle of college and he says it all begins with our WHY.
Life Happens, friends! Let’s Talk About It!
Listen in to learn more :
(00:00) Is College Worth It? Pros and Cons
(04:57) Navigating the College Decision Process
(17:50) College Decision Framework and Gap Year
(30:53) Considering Alternatives to College Costs
(39:12) College Financial Planning
(43:46) Navigating Community College and College Costs
In this episode, we are diving into the four main reasons for choosing college, the truth about statistics surrounding college degrees in the workforce, key conversations to have as a family before making college decisions, and tools for estimating what it will actually cost to send your kid to college.
