For decades, families have been told college is the only ticket to success. But with skyrocketing costs, shifting job markets, and the rise of AI, the economics of higher education are more complicated than ever. Career and college coach Kristin Heimstra joins John to break down how parents and students can navigate these choices with clarity and confidence.
Kristin shares her perspective on when a private school may be worth the price, why community colleges are an overlooked gem, and how to think critically about degrees, ROI, and career fit. She also explores the growing role of trade schools and hands-on careers that AI can’t replace. If you’ve ever wondered how to balance cost, value, and opportunity when it comes to higher education—or how to help your kids or grandkids make smarter choices—this conversation is for you. The bottom line: it’s not just about where you go, it’s about knowing yourself, your goals, and the return on your investment.
Here’s what we discuss in this episode:
🎓 Rethinking the “college or bust” mindset
💰 When private education can be worth the cost
🔧 Trade school opportunities in an AI-driven world
🏫 Community college as a launchpad for success
🤝 Building networks and connections that matter
