In this episode, host Thomas Caleel discusses the pros and cons of attending college. In response to many messages and comments from listeners saying "college is a waste of time" we encourage you to sit back and think about your own goals and abilities and make an educated decision on what is best for you. And if college is the answer, well, you are in the right place.  Have your own question you'd like answered?

We need to respect everyone's decisions and life paths, there is no right answer  Alternative paths to a lucrative career include the military, trade school, community college, and internships.  College opens up opportunities by teaching you how to learn, connecting you to new people, and exposing you to new career paths that you may not be aware of.    About Thomas Thomas is an alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania.
