In this episode, I sit down with Dominique Padurano, a top SAT prep expert who helps students navigate the overwhelming process of college admissions in the U.S

📌 Topics We Cover:

✅ Is a university degree still a good investment in today’s economy?

✅ The real cost of college in the U.S. & U.K.—and how student debt impacts future opportunities.

✅ Ivy League universities: Are they truly worth it? Or is it all about networking?

✅ The college vs. trade school debate—who benefits more in the long run?

✅ Why some universities are shutting down, and what that means for students.

✅ The growing political battle over student loan forgiveness & education reform.

🚀 If you're a student, parent, or professional questioning the value of higher education, this episode is for you!

CAN YOU HELP THE PODCAST?

Dear Podcast Listener, Thank you for your support. This podcast aims to support dads all over the world, especially those struggling with their mental health.

This podcast is my hobby, but I'd like it to become more than that one day. For that to happen, I need the support of either one very wealthy angel investor or a few thousand, possibly slightly less wealthy (but no less generous) angel investors.

To develop the podcast and hopefully support more dads, I need some help. With that in mind, if you enjoyed this episode and want to help me with what I'm trying to do,

here is the link where you can leave a tip.

ALL tips, regardless of size, are hugely appreciated, and as a thank you, anyone who leaves a tip will be entitled to a voice note message from me on their next birthday.

Just contact me via the website

Thanks again for your support, and take care of yourself

James
