He's Not Using His College Degree.

In this episode of Move Right, Zach and Jake tackle a question more people are asking right now: If you got a college degree and are not directly using it, was it all a waste? Starting from Jake’s own experience of studying electrical engineering and now moving in a very different direction, they unpack the pressure many people feel when family, culture, or employers treat a degree like it only matters if it leads to one specific job.This conversation goes deeper than whether college is “good” or “bad.” Zach and Jake challenge the idea that a degree is just a piece of paper or a magic ticket to stability, and instead ask a better question: What did the degree actually train you to do? They explore how a degree may represent ways of thinking, solving problems, and creating value that still matter even if someone never works in the exact field they studied. They also wrestle with whether college is still worth the cost today, especially in a world where technology is moving fast and many practical skills can now be learned outside traditional institutions.Through the lens of Move Right, they argue that the real issue is not simply whether someone is using their degree, but whether they are learning how to think, how to create value, and how to apply their gifts in a changing marketplace. This episode is for people questioning their path, parents thinking about what to encourage their kids toward, and anyone wondering whether the “normal” route is still producing the kind of outcomes they actually want.To watch the full conversation, find Move Right with Zach and Jake on YouTube at @ZKosturos.Additional Discussion Topics:What a college degree actually represents beyond a job titleWhether someone can still be “using” a degree outside the original fieldWhy college has often been treated like proof of preparationWhether that proof still means the same thing todayHow technology is changing the value of traditional degreesThe difference between learning what to think and learning how to thinkWhy creating value matters more than simply collecting credentialsHow to rethink college, career paths, and preparation in a changing world
