Welcome to The Turf Zone Podcast. This episode features the article “Building the Turfgrass Manager Pipeline: A Call for Industry-Academic Partnership” written by Jay McCurdy. The larger turfgrass and landscape industry has a labor issue—mainly that there's not a reliable pipeline for accessing young and capable employees. I have this conversation almost weekly when discussing the state of the industry and how my role in a “turfgrass program” relates. I'm now in my 12th year at Mississippi State University, so I no doubt have some ownership of the problems. But I also wanted to relay to a wider audience just what some of the solutions might be to solve this problem. Yes, higher industry pay might help, but there's more to the story than just that. Our landscape management industry includes a broad range of job titles, but most of us reading this magazine are either boots-on-the-ground landscape managers (ex. superintendents, lawn care professionals, sports field managers, sod producers, equipment managers, etc.) or are somehow involved in the industry/supply side (sales, accounts, research and development, chemical, equipment, etc.). We know the technical mastery and skill required to do this job. We know the rewards and challenges. Nevertheless, I find the perspective from academia is often a little different from what it was when I was a practitioner. We are all concerned about a shrinking pipeline of new professionals entering our field. Turfgrass academic programs are often criticized for producing too few graduates, and those graduates are said to be underprepared for the demanding, multifaceted roles that await them. The same is said for students fresh out of high school. There's always a debate about whether it's generational or whatnot. Maybe there's something to that, but what, pragmatically, can we do to figure all this out? The issue is more complex than a simple academic shortfall. The challenges facing turf programs reflect deeper structural and cultural dynamics within the larger society, as well as within the green industry and our academic institutions. I think we need to embrace a new model of mutual investment between academia and industry in order to restore vitality and sustainability to the profession. Whatever the model, it must redefine recruitment, enhance the talent pool, and demonstrate that green-industry roles are both professionally rewarding and personally sustainable. This essay outlines a vision for such a partnership, built on five key principles: shared recruitment, broader inclusion, job-quality reform, experiential learning, and a mutual commitment to long-term workforce development. The Myth of the One-Way Pipeline Turfgrass academic programs are too often viewed as workforce development pipelines. In this paradigm, universities are expected to “turn out” graduates who are job-ready, immediately employable, and long-term loyal to the industry. These are ambitious goals that can only be achieved through industry partnerships. Universities cannot solve structural labor shortages in isolation. For starters, the looming demographic cliff, where student enrollment drops due to fewer babies having been born ~18 years ago, is self-evident. We have to reframe the relationship as a two-way street: industry leaders and employers must engage as co-investors in the success of the next generation. The declining number of turfgrass students is not solely a turf problem—it mirrors trends across many science, technology, engineering, agriculture, and mathematics (STEAM) disciplines. Yet in turf, the impact is more acute. Fewer students are entering, and those who do are frequently drawn away by careers with higher salaries, greater mobility, and more stable work-life balance—fields like wildlife biology, ecology, food science, and agricultural engineering. If return on investment (ROI) for college interests you, I highly recommend Preston Cooper's Is College Worth It? A Comprehensive Return on Investment Analysis article. If the green industry wants to retain talented, committed professionals, it must work with academic programs to create clearer, more appealing, and more stable career pathways for students entering the field. Recruitment: A Shared Responsibility One of the most common critiques from green industry professionals and hiring managers is that turf programs are not doing enough to recruit students into the field. In truth, recruitment cannot be the sole responsibility of faculty or universities. Few high school students grow up dreaming of becoming a golf course superintendent, especially if they've never been exposed to the role or the science behind it. Lots of kids grow up mowing lawns, but do they view that as a stable profession? How many golf course superintendents leave the industry for better working hours or more stable family lives? The stories of our profession are not always positive. How do we improve that? Meaningful recruitment requires visibility, storytelling, and early engagement. That means: Hosting and organizing Golf Course Superintendents Association of America's (GCSAA's) STEAM program, First Green. Industry professionals visiting high schools, FFA programs, and 4-H events to talk about careers in turf and to give hands-on help managing facilities. Hosting youth days, career shadowing, or field trips in coordination with FFA, agricultural teachers, 4-H, and Extension educators. Alumni sharing their stories, not just of agronomic challenges overcome, but of career development, family stability, and lifelong learning. Academic programs can support these efforts with marketing materials, introductory coursework, event production, and advising. Industry partners can develop their own materials, and my academic colleagues and I would be happy to collaborate. But unless the industry is willing to support or do the work, recruitment will remain a leaky pipeline. The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America has promoted its First Green program and has invested heavily in promoting the profession to kids in FFA. This is a good example of how we might target youth to entice them into our profession. Reaching the Future of the Profession A second issue compounding recruitment challenges is the profession's lack of demographic diversity (this isn't a DEI discussion!). This is not simply a turfgrass issue; it reflects broader underrepresentation across many STEAM fields. However, the profession's visual and cultural homogeneity isn't always inviting to those from different socioeconomic or cultural backgrounds. That's to say very little of the lack of female representation—it's improving. Still, it lags considerably behind many other attractive career fields for the same candidate pool we are competing for. If we want to build a workforce that reflects the broader demographics of our society, the turfgrass industry must actively recruit from historically underrepresented communities, including women, students of color, and first-generation college students. Many turf programs sit within land-grant institutions with a mission to serve all citizens of their state. Partnerships with historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), tribal colleges, and community colleges offer promising avenues for talent development. Additionally, the industry must take steps to ensure that students from diverse backgrounds are not only recruited but also retained. That means: Paid internships with real mentorship, not just summer labor. This is something our industry does well. Though pay and working conditions could always be improved, I understand the financial realities for most businesses—margins matter, and you can't pay a 20-year-old more than your loyal long-time employees. Scholarships and travel support to attend GCSAA and regional turfgrass conferences. GCSAA and our regional events have done a great job supporting our students. Our state and regional associations have covered almost all the costs for our students attending events like Deep South. GCSAA allows students and academic advisors to attend the Golf Show for free. They allow students to be members for free. We just have to cover flight and meal costs—sell more hats and pullovers! Storytelling campaigns that highlight successful professionals in our industry. Barry Stewart hosts MSU Turf Seminar speakers, and I'm sure he'd love to hear from those of you who can share your secrets to success and happiness. If the profession remains perceived as culturally insular or exclusionary, we will continue to miss out on a generation of bright, capable professionals who simply chose other welcoming fields. Career Quality: The Hidden Cost of Turnover Recruitment efforts alone are not enough if the jobs themselves are perceived as undesirable. One of the most pressing challenges facing the green industry is career sustainability and burnout. Even for students who graduate from turf programs and enter the profession, the early-career reality can be discouraging. Starting roles are often physically demanding, geographically isolating from home, and poorly compensated relative to the skill and responsibility required. I won't disagree: early careers are hard in many professions, and ours has a history of heartiness and resilience that we pride ourselves on. And that's great, but let's face it, positions frequently involve long hours, especially in golf and sports fields, weekend shifts, and high turnover. Relocation is common, placing strain on young professionals with families or community ties. Burnout is not only likely, but it's also all too often expected. In many cases, internships play a decisive role. While some students have transformative experiences, others emerge disillusioned. Internships are often where students determine whether they see a long-term future in the profession. Unfortunately, too many internships treat students as temporary labor rather than future colleagues. Our profession must take a hard look at its entry-level roles and ask: Are we investing in mentorship or extracting labor? Are we helping build careers or merely filling seasonal gaps? Are we creating a profession that values work-life balance and career advancement? Until the industry addresses these questions honestly, retention will remain low, and turf programs will struggle to retain students who see more stable options elsewhere. Experiential Learning and Academic Alignment To ensure that students are prepared for professional success, universities must evolve as well. Turfgrass programs must incorporate not only plant science and weed control, but also: Business management and budgeting Communication and conflict resolution Human resources and leadership Sustainability, data analytics, and emerging technologies Faculty must engage in continuous dialogue with industry professionals to align curricula with real-world expectations. This can happen through advisory boards, curriculum reviews, and co-developed experiential learning opportunities. Meanwhile, the industry must treat internships and co-ops as educational experiences, not just temporary employment. Golf courses that offer structured mentorship, performance feedback, and leadership development will not only see better short-term productivity, but they'll also help shape the long-term workforce of the profession. The Role of Associations The Sports Field Management Association (SFMA), GCSAA, and other professional landscape associations have a unique opportunity to lead systemic change. Many in the industry look to them for guidance, advocacy, and professional standards. But as organizations, they can: Develop and promote best practices for internship mentorship Recognize organizations that invest in student development Partner with academic programs on workforce development grants Support early-career professionals through networking and continuing education Just as importantly, associations must continue to help shift cultural expectations within the profession. That means promoting superintendent and field manager roles as executive leadership positions, not just agronomic technicians. It means celebrating the intellectual and managerial skills required to succeed in this career, and advocating for compensation, stability, and respect commensurate with those demands. Learning from Other Industries Much can be learned from adjacent fields. Engineering, for example, has long faced similar challenges: rigorous academic programs, intense internships, and high attrition. Yet leading companies and associations in that field have invested heavily in university partnerships, student engagement, and early-career support. Top manufacturing and technology firms fund campus recruiting, sponsor capstone projects, offer paid site visits to facilities, and offer career ladders with clear promotion timelines. These students, like our own, are not afraid of hard work. They are attracted by clear career outcomes and structured support along the way. There is no reason the green industry cannot offer the same. But doing so requires a shift in mindset: from “you have to earn your place” to “we will invest in you as the future of our profession.” A Vision for the Future In many places, these goals are already occurring, but here are just a few to imagine as being widespread: High school students attend “turf career days” hosted by their local superintendent and Extension agent. Universities and employers co-design internships that develop not just technical skills, but leadership and confidence. Interns feel welcomed and valued from their first day on a golf course. Assistant superintendents are mentored, paid fairly, and see clear paths to advancement. Associations and turf programs work side by side to tell the story of a modern, rewarding profession. This future is not only possible but also essential. The alternative is the status quo, or worse, decline: fewer students, fewer assistants, more burnout, and an aging workforce with no one ready to take the reins. Conclusion: A Call to Shared Action The challenges facing the profession are real, but they are not insurmountable. What is required is not blame, but shared responsibility. Universities must modernize curricula and deepen student support. Turfgrass managers must invest in mentorship and help reshape early-career roles. Our industry associations must lead with vision, coordination, and advocacy. Ultimately, this is about stewardship of the profession itself. The same care, foresight, and commitment that turfgrass managers bring to managing turf must now be brought to cultivating the future of the workforce.

[05:42] “Nelson believed that people need to think. He thinks that's one of the biggest problems Americans have, [that they] have changed into, almost like lemmings, where they have just been taught not to think.” Due to Nelson's skepticism about the education system, he questions whether college is necessary for young people to be productive, successful, and wealthy. After all, if school isn't teaching people to think, what is it teaching? Of course, there are naturally exceptions to this. You don't want a doctor who hasn't trained extensively, nor do you want a lawyer who doesn't know the law, or a scientist who doesn't understand the scientific process. In these cases, school is integral. However, the world is becoming increasingly entrepreneurial, which doesn't take a degree, as much as it takes critical thinking and people skills. Even jobs like coding and programming can be learned in short-term courses, as opposed to a college environment. This isn't to say that college isn't a worthwhile endeavor. However, it is an expensive one and a decision that shouldn't be taken lightly. There is truth to the statement that your earning power is statistically higher if you have a college degree. However, there is also tremendous debt, that may not be necessary depending on what you want to accomplish in this life. The Cost of Education In the 80s, when Bruce went to Truman State University, the total cost of room, board, and tuition was $1995. And when he graduated and went into teaching, he was making about $19,000. That's essentially a 10:1 ratio. On the other hand,

Lydia offers some insight from her experience as the big boss on the other side of the bargaining table. Ross asks how little work The Times should pay him to do.

It's a valid question, and there's no easy answer that applies to everyone. There are many factors to consider when it comes to deciding whether or not to pursue a college education.On the one hand, there are undeniable benefits to going to college. For one thing, a college degree can significantly increase your earning potential over the course of your career.College can also provide you with valuable skills and knowledge that you might not be able to gain elsewhere. You can learn about a wide range of subjects and develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills that can be useful in any career.That being said, college isn't for everyone. It can be very expensive, time-consuming, and stressful. For some people, pursuing a trade school or certification program might better fit their goals and interests.Others might enter the workforce immediately after high school, gaining hands-on experience and building their skills on the job.All these are valid paths to success, whichever you take.The key point here is that if you decide not to go to college, choose to do something equally challenging. Don't just sit around and be useless.In this episode, Matt and Rick discuss the value proposition of a college education vs. the alternatives to college and what factors should affect the decision. Key Takeaways- Is going to college worth it from an entrepreneurship lens (05:56)- The stats of college education (07:08)- The alternatives to college (15:24)- Finding something equally challenging (18:04)- Investing in other forms of education (22:37)- Upskill yourself to get to where you want (25:45)Additional Resources:- Alloy Personal Training- Learn About The Alloy Franchise Opportunity---------You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you haven't already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!

The question of whether college is worth it continues to come up as tuition costs rise nationwide, so here's how to calculate your ROI. The post Is College Worth It? How To Calculate Your ROI appeared first on The College Investor.
On this special Thrivetime Show podcast Clay Clark is discussing with his son Aubrey Napoleon-Hill Clark and his partner's (Jonathan Barnett) son Jayden about whether or not you actually need a college degree to become successful in life.
So as I recorded this it was late August, and the Student Loan Debt Relief Plan was announced about a week ago. Since the announcement there's been all sorts of discussion about whether or not the debt cancellation portion of the plan is fair; whether or not it goes far enough, if it's just political pandering, and on, and on, and on. So instead of the typical episode I thought we'd take a quick look at the info currently available about the plan, discuss some of the pros and cons of a college education and college debt, and end with my thoughts on what the takeaways are from all of this for you. Student Loan Debt Relief Plan So let's start with the basics. Perhaps the best place to get info on the Student Loan Debt Relief Plan is studentaid.gov, or specifically studentaid.gov/debt-relief-accouncement. Studentaid.gov is an official website of the U.S. Department of Education. Here you'll find the basics of the plan. You can also subscribe to get updates at ed.gov/subscriptions There are 3 main parts to the plan: A final extension through the end of 2022 of the student loan repayment pause that initially was intacted during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic A new income-driven repayment plan that will reduce future monthly payments for lower- and middle-income borrowers. Targeted debt relief to low- and middle-income families Up to $20,000 in debt cancellation to Pell Grant recipients with loans held by the Department of Education Up to $10,000 in debt cancellation to non-Pell Grant recipients. Borrowers are eligible for this relief if their individual income is less than $125,000 or $250,000 for households. Nearly 8 million borrowers may be eligible to receive relief automatically because relevant income data is already available to the U.S. Department of Education. If the U.S. Department of Education doesn't have your income data, the Administration will launch a simple application which will be available by early October. (How do you know if you have to apply?) If you would like to be notified when the application is open, please sign up at the Department of Education subscription page. Once a borrower completes the application, they can expect relief within 4-6 weeks. Borrowers are advised to apply before November 15th in order to receive relief before the payment pause expires on December 31, 2022. The Department of Education will continue to process applications as they are received, even after the pause expires on December 31, 2022. Borrowers who are employed by non-profits, the military, or federal, state, Tribal, or local government may be eligible to have all of their student loans forgiven through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. This is because of time-limited changes that waive certain eligibility criteria in the PSLF program. These temporary changes expire on October 31, 2022. For more information on eligibility and requirements, go to PSLF.gov. Pros and Cons of College/College Debt (Britannica ProCon.org): Pros College graduates make more money The average college graduate makes $570,000 more than the average high school graduate over a lifetime. College education has a high return as an investment. Return on investment (ROI) is calculated by dividing the money earned as a result of a college degree by the money spent on a college degree. A college degree has a return of 15% per year as an investment, larger than the stock market (6.8%) and housing (0.4%). Jobs increasingly require college degrees. Only 34% of American jobs require a high school diploma or less in 2017, compared to 72% in the 1970s. College graduates have more and better employment opportunities. The unemployment rate for Americans over 25 with a bachelor's degree was 1.9% in Dec. 2019, compared to 2.7% for those with some college or associate's degrees, 3.7% for high school graduates, and 5.2% for high school drop-outs Cons Student loan debt is crippling for college graduates. Average Student Loan Debt (Forbes.com) $1.75 trillion in total student loan debt (including federal and private loans) $28,950 owed per borrower on average About 92% of all student debt are federal student loans; the remaining amount is private student loans Borrowers between the ages of 25 and 34 carry about $500 billion in federal student loans Borrowers ages 35 to 49 owe more than $620 billion in student loans. 2.4 million borrowers aged 62 or older that owe $98 billion in student loans. Federal Loans by Age Many students do not graduate About 19% of students who enroll in college do not return for the second year. Overall, 41% of students at four-year colleges and universities did not graduate within six years: 41% at public schools, 34% at private non-profits, and 77% at private for-profits. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, roughly 34% of college graduates are underemployed, College degrees do not guarantee learning or job preparation. In 2013 56% of employers thought half or fewer of college graduates had the skills and knowledge to advance within their companies. 30% of college graduates felt college did not prepare them well for employment, specifically in terms of technical and quantitative reasoning skills. Learning a trade profession is a better option than college for many young adults. The high number of young adults choosing college over learning a trade has created a ‘skills gap' in the US and there is now a shortage of ‘middle-skill” trade workers like machinists, electricians, plumbers, and construction workers. Middle-skill” jobs represent half of all jobs in the US that pay middle-class wages. Certain big tech companies no longer require employees to have a college degree (MastersPortals) Especially when it comes down to programming, coding, and technology in general, you can find free online courses on mastering Linux, developing a website, administrating WordPress, and so on. In addition to free tutorials and how-to videos on YouTube, there are many other popular online education platforms, which offer free or affordable courses in any area you can think of: Coursera Skillshare Udemy EdX Khan Academy Some of the top tech enterprises that don't ask job candidates for college degrees: Google Apple IBM Tesla Final Thoughts/Takeaways Provisions are subject to change - Subscribe to updates on the U.S. Department of Education website (link in shownotes) for updates The Biden administration relied on the 2003 Heroes Act enacted following the Sept. 11 terror attacks to underpin its plan. It argues that because of the COVID-19 emergency, the law gives the Education Department the authority to both suspend loan repayments through Dec. 31 and cancel loan debt for many borrowers. (The Hill) If you already have student loans debt, assuming the debt forgiveness plan doesn't get derailed: Take advantage! Eliminate other debt (Debt Snowball, Debt Avalanche) Build an emergency fund Have a plan. If loan forgiveness frees up cash for you, make the best of it. Consider using the freed up cash flow to If you're considering taking on college debt Don't assume that future debt forgiveness will be available (extremely political) Consider Return on Investment (run the numbers for your individual situation) While there are no guarantees that going to college will pay off, there are a few degrees that typically provide better chances than others. These include: STEM. Jobs related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics tend to do well. STEM careers are available in many forms and in all industries. The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the demand for STEM careers to grow by 8% by 2029, which is more than double the expected growth for other fields. Medical, nursing and pharmaceuticals. Doctors, nurses, pharmacists and medical support staff are needed all of the time and all over the world. More than 2 million new jobs in the medical field are expected to be available by 2026.

Asking yourself a few simple questions around your personal finances can make all the difference.

Most investors scrutinize and strategize for every fractional point of return they can muster. Yet, one major expense–sometimes, the largest single bill in a person's lifetime–seems to be held above such petty considerations as ROI. Does that make sense? Amy and Mike invited educational researcher Martin Van Der Werf to clarify the data on return on investment in college. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What does return on investment (ROI) mean in the context of higher education? Which kinds of college students are represented in the current ROI data? What major classes of schools tend to deliver high or low ROI? What specific factors should applicants focused on ROI consider in the college search? How does the number of years after entry to college influence ROI calculations? MEET OUR GUEST Martin Van Der Werf has extensive experience researching and writing about higher education and the issues facing the industry. His work at the center is focused on such issues as diversity and access to higher education, the return on investment of a college degree, and the workplace value of college degrees.

Patricia McWade, Dean of Student Financial Services, Georgetown University Anthony Miller, Deputy Secretary and Chief Operating Officer, U.S. Department of Education Moderator: John Nelson, Managing Director, Public Finance Group, Moody's Investors Service. Student debt surpassed the $1 trillion mark in 2012 and now is the second-largest category of household debt behind mortgages. Default rates exceed those of credit cards, and college tuition and fees have been rising even faster than health care costs. At the same time, employers are seeing a mismatch between their needs and the qualifications of those in the labor pool. This incongruity threatens to derail productivity and economic growth, raising serious questions about national competitiveness. Given this backdrop, how can the American higher education model fulfill the learning, affordability and job-preparation needs of students? What role can colleges and universities, online technology and government play in setting higher education on the best possible course?
Speakers: Jared Diamond, Professor, Department of Geography, University of California, Los Angeles; Pulitzer Prize winner, "Guns, Germs, and Steel". Niall Ferguson, Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History, Harvard University; Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution. James Robinson, David Florence Professor of Government, Harvard University. Moderator: William Bennett, Former U.S. Secretary of Education; Author, "Is College Worth It?" Do nations, like a good drama, have a beginning, middle and end? Why do civilizations succeed, why do they fail? Is it culture, economics, geography, climate, or an interaction among them? Is reinvention and rejuvenation possible? Our panel of celebrated scholars will examine the forces that propel the lifecycles of empires and how they may apply in today's world. Many are asking whether the U.S. is past its peak and China will inevitably reclaim the preeminence it enjoyed centuries ago. More broadly, is the global center of gravity moving from West to East? This event may also yield insights for businesses - they don't live forever either.
A higher education is a very expensive and RISKY investment. When you think about the number of college graduates who cant find employment IN THE FIELD IN WHICH THEY ARE TRAINED it almost makes you reconsider going to college. I have hear over and over that its not about what you know, but WHO you know in any field. So why not just get to know people in social settings, and skip the rest of it? Why not just wing it, unless you are in a field where that cause kill someone, like being a DOCTOR. The point is, a lot of college degrees are not worth the paper they are printed on. Some may say you need to get a degree in something that is hot like COMPUTER SCIENCE ..but what if you are not GOOD AT THAT! What if you ARE good at ART or SPORTS or HELPING PEOPLE? Should everyone get a degree in the same thing just because that is the field that is "hiring"? That makes no damn sense. But your FUTURE income is at stake here people. So I have a few questions class: 1) Do you think having a college degree is over rated? 2) If you do go to school, should you go for what you WANT to do or the field that is "hiring" 3) Is it MORALLY right to CHARGE someone to LEARN? (and if so WHY SO MUCH!) 4) How much does Education level matter for you when considering dating someone? 5) Do you think EDUCATION erases DISCRIMINATION in America?
