Ep. 114 - Is University Worth the Time and Money? - Mark Penninga & Jon Dykstra

A BIG THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR, REDEEMER UNIVERSITY! WE APPRECIATE YOU HELPING US MAKE THIS CONVERSATION POSSIBLE. BE SURE TO CHECK THEM OUT AT WWW.REDEEMER.CA Happy New Year, friends! The start of the year usually means university application season for a lot of high schoolers! Building off the Nov/Dec issue of Reformed Perspective, we thought it might be helpful to have a conversation thinking through all the post-secondary options. Is formal education still worth it? Is the work force better? Sharing our own experiences we chat through some of these questions. Be sure to let us know your thoughts.
