In today’s episode (our season closer!), Cory speaks with Jamai Blivin, who’s spent her recent career on this dilemma: most people need a high-paying job to afford college, but need college to afford a higher paying job. She is a tireless advocate for the systemic change that would begin to resolve this mismatch. Jamai believes we need to emphasize the importance of actual skills over that piece of paper, and she has ideas about how to make it happen. One of them is pretty simple: our teenagers should prioritize getting a J-O-B. How many parents like the sound of that?
