Episode Highlights With Katie
Why I never even thought to question college when I was 17... and why I’m rethinking it now with my own kids.
How college became the default safe choice, and why that may no longer be true in today’s world. 
The emotional side of this decision for parents: fear, social pressure, and wanting to  do right by our kids.
The hidden  avoidance pattern of using college to delay the hard question: What do I actually want?
Why the social promise of college is so compelling  ... and how real community can be built outside of a campus.
The financial reality of college: debt, lost working years, and why earnings don’t matter if debt owns your future.
The downsides of spending 4–5 years in a homogenous group of same-age peers.
How college can delay maturity, responsibility, and real-world skill-building.
The added complexity when sports and scholarships are in the mix, and how I’m navigating that with my kids.
The exceptions: when college still makes sense (and why this is not an anti-college  rant).
What I’m encouraging my own kids to explore instead: apprenticeships, work, entrepreneurship, travel, and real-world learning.
The questions I’m asking my kids (and myself) to help them choose intentionally... whether that leads to college or not
My personal opinion and what I might do if I had to do it all over again
