800,000 college students are paying full tuition — to earn LESS than a high school grad. Not a typo. The government just cut off federal loans for degree programs that don't pay off. Dr. Phil names the schools cashing the check anyway — USC, Juilliard, NYU, Reed — and breaks down why $260,000 can buy you a $40K salary. Before your kid signs that loan, listen to this.

In Kim on a Whim, Kim St. Onge reacts to Dave Ramsey's argument that where you go to college doesn't determine success, sparking a broader discussion with Marc Cox about the real value of higher education versus trade schools and community colleges. They debate how Ivy League schools may open doors early but argue that experience, work ethic, and skill ultimately matter more long-term. The conversation expands to rising demand for skilled trades like welding, machining, and HVAC, six-figure opportunities without four-year degrees, and the growing shortage of skilled workers as older tradespeople retire. Marc and Kim also reflect on changing attitudes toward college, the cost of tuition, and the push for alternative career paths beyond traditional university education.

Senate Bill 199 enshrines the federal "Do No Harm” earnings test contained in President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” That standard, scheduled to take effect this summer, would shut off federal financial aid for students in college programs that cannot show that after four years following their graduation, a program’s graduates earn more, on average, than a working adult with only a high school degree. 60% of employers have fired recent Gen Z grads within months of hiring them, citing lack of initiative, poor professionalism, and weak communication skills. Bosses call for more workplace readiness like teaching networking, proper attire, and responsibility to better prepare new graduates. The argument is being made that the FCC must upgrade America’s aging broadband infrastructure now, so the internet can handle the explosive data demands of AI. Commissioners are poised to streamline federal rules this Thursday an opportunity to boost network capacity and prevent broadband from becoming a bottleneck for AI innovation. The National Review says real programs like cloud seeding and geoengineering research have blurred the line between science and so‑called “chemtrail” conspiracies. The lack of transparency, it argues, is fueling public mistrust even when the science is legitimate.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – For decades, the cultural narrative has pushed college as the only path to success. But Gen Z is waking up. Faced with soaring tuition costs, stagnant academic outcomes, and overwhelming debt, they're saying, “No thanks.” Instead, they're pursuing high-demand, recession-proof careers in skilled trades — plumbing, electrical, HVAC, welding, carpentry, and more...
Are high school graduates better off picking up a welding torch instead of a college textbook? As demand grows for skilled labor, more students—and their parents—are questioning whether the traditional college-for-all model still makes sense. Is it time to stop treating college as the default path? Steve Klein, a researcher at Education Northwest, talks to The Excerpt about the benefits and biases around trade careers, the reality of financial independence without a four-year degree, and how schools can better prepare students for the future.Read more: https://tinyurl.com/492enhtk See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Richard Haier is an emeritus professor of Pediatric Neurology at UC Irvine, who spent his career studying the neuroscience of intelligence. Over the course of his career, Haier has come to believe in the existence of a “g-factor,” a measurable quantity of broad spectrum intelligence that is universally predictive of success in all cultures. He also believes that intelligence is a fixed characteristic, and that it's possible to predict someone's intelligence by watching how their brain works when trying to solve a puzzle. We sit down with him to figure out how far one can take this theory of intelligence before running headlong into a heartless social darwinism, why intelligence research feels so creepy, if IQ tests are actually measuring what we think they're measuring, if intelligence is really the thing that we should be optimizing for, and if it's possible for technology to make us dumber.

From The Vault:Private Investigators and Dealmakers are Teaming up More Often than Ever!We covered an unusual topic in this episode, that we learned wasn't so unusual afterall. Private investigations within the M&A space. As buyers and sellers become more leary of the trustworthiness between them during dealmaking, the advisory team is completing the circle of trust by having what they disclose verified. Our guest today is Tom Jaeb, Founder and Managing Director of JR Risk Advisors. Tom's background in private investigations goes back to working with his brother's PI firm in 1993. When that firm sold, he and his brother took a year off to honor the Non Compete and then launched J2 Risk Advisors. This time around, their sole focus is on M&A transactions, being hired by PE firms, Investment Bankers, and others in the Dealmaking space. They verify all kinds of information that has been disclosed, and watch for red flags in areas that could be missed by the untrained eye.You'd think that a credit report, courthouse search, and online search would bring up enough to make a case for or against a deal going through, but J2 digs deeper. They conduct research that examines the Press, Social Media, College Degrees, and other background sources as well.Tom says that most deals are free of 'red flag' items that would derail a transaction. However, he said that each search uncovers things that weren't necessarily discussed or disclosed, simply because the buyer or seller didn't think it was relevant. Say for instance a lawsuit settlement that the company was a party to 10 years ago. The key to deciding whether research and analysis are necessary is to determine if there are patterns of behavior or isolated incidents. When it's a pattern, it's a red flag, but if it's something that happened once many years ago, they're not going to be as concerned.Tom shared some intriguing client stories that you will find surprising! He said that Private Investigations during the dealmaking stages are more common than you think. The point about trustworthiness can be carried over from little things to big things; it's then up to the buyer or seller to decide whether to move forward.Listen to the episode here!Connect with Julie Keyes, Keyestrategies LLCFounder, Consultant, Author, Pod-caster and Instructor
Joining the show this weekend is UW Green Bay Professor and Chair of Democracy and Justice Studies, Dr. Jon Shelton and Human Rights Activist and older brother of your host, John Becker. Mark asks to dive into a publication Dr. Shelton published earlier this month: Why Democrats Are Losing Americans Without a College Degree—and How to Win Them Back, an article summarizing how voters know that the economy has not worked well for decades. Dr Shelton says Democrats must offer a transformative vision and stick to it for as long as it takes. He believes as a party the democrats aren't offering enough for working people and what happening is Americans are desperately voting for something to change. "We need working Americans to see what it is that they deserve and that the party is fighting for them and with them." It's not an idea that needs to be sold, its something to build toward together. How do we take a profoundly challenging question and talk to people with that integrity and hit them right between the eyes and make it make sense? We need to have a very clear narrative and message and stick to it. This is not the first time American's have faced dark times and Dr. Shelton believes we will make it through it. During Mark's Musings he dives into the big topic of why. Why did that happen? How can we avoid it happening again. How do you have a rational discussion when people live every day in a world that's so irrational? Join the discussion.

This week I sat down with Colorado's David Carrillo, who was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole thirty years ago, when he was 19 years old. Since then, David has accomplished some incredible things behind bars. He enrolled in college, completed his Bachelor's and then his Master's Degree, and then got hired to teach for a local college inside prison while he was still incarcerated. We talk about life in prison, drugs in prison, prison education, redemption, identity changes in prison, politics in prison, and we focus on the importance of educational opportunities inside.

Mark and Jesse are back after a short break with a discussion about slippery slopes... real and imagined. Jesse delivers an epic rant on the uselessness of economists, while Mark talks about his hesistance applying for graduate school in order to obtain the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential. Mark presents his dillema: he wants the credential to "reduce friction" for clients when other service providers refer him (say, a divorce attorney that refers Mark to a couple for marraige counseling before going down the path of divorce). Calling yourself a family and marriage coach, Mark reasons, makes you have to explain yourself, whereas the title of therapist is self-explanatory. On the other hand, he already has a busy coaching practice doing the same thing that therapists do, so the actual value of the degree is questionable (and the cost is high, in both money and time). Jesse has a different take. In his mind, any friction that not having the official "therapist" label might create goes away with a strong referral. As soon as the attorney refers a client specifically to Mark, trust is created and the work can take place. It's all about the strength of the referral. This leads to a discussion about credentials as a form of permission seeking, and the pricing power of a provider who offers their services as a non-credentialed coach versus a licensed therapist. In many ways, the people who become therapists have what Mark calls permission seeking traits -- they jump through the hoops in school to get the letters after their name, and when they start their practice they look to the rates of other therapists and set their own somewhere in the middle. On the other hand, coaches often position themselves in a more niche area at a higher price point, and command much higher rates. At the end of the day, credentials may be another one of those slippery slopes -- something with more perceived value than actual value in the marketplace.

Mike Rowe is on a one-man crusade to change that. Mike joins Charlie to talk about the dignity and enormous opportunity that skilled blue-collar labor still offers to Americans of all backgrounds.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
