#106 - AI University? What Happens After Graduation

Is college still the golden ticket to success, or is the path changing faster than we expected? In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer dig into a question many parents and students are quietly asking: is a four-year college degree still worth the price?With tuition costs soaring and wages struggling to keep up, the hosts unpack the growing gap between the cost of education and the return students receive after graduation. They explore how virtual classes, changing learning environments, and the rise of AI are reshaping what higher education looks like today. What once felt like a clear next step after high school now requires deeper thought.They also discuss alternative paths that are gaining traction, including trade schools, certifications, apprenticeships, and community college programs. They highlight how many major companies are shifting toward skill-based hiring rather than focusing solely on degrees.The episode ultimately encourages families to step back, ask better questions, and focus on what truly fits each student’s strengths, interests, and financial reality. College may still be valuable for some careers, but it is no longer the only road to success.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(1:05) Winter Olympics talk and community stories(2:45) Top headlines and current events discussion(8:12) Is college still worth the cost?(10:50) Virtual learning vs real classroom experience(12:01) Community college and cost-saving pathways(14:28) How AI is reshaping education and work(15:16) Learning skills on the job vs college majors(17:03) Careers where college still matters(18:58) AI vs human judgment and real-world experience(20:10) How technology may be weakening deep learning(21:56) Introducing the Boomerang Board platform(23:06) Helping students make smarter education choices(25:10) Why being authentic still matters most(26:18) Got Grit Award: Flavor Flav supporting women Olympians(28:04) “Eye of the Tiger” and the spirit of grit(29:40) OutroSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow us:Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty
