Two higher education experts join us to talk through some of the challenges facing programs and how students can make a more informed and cost-effective choice.

    Thank you for this audio.
    So many things have changed… Most of it needed to change. So, why not our education system? The tuition is outrageously high and graduating with tens of thousands of dollars in student loans is not exactly very exciting. The value of a higher education is becoming questionable, considering the possibilities in entrepreneurship. Knowledge and learning are now available in so many other ways.
