Are you sitting on a $100,000 mistake?. In this video, we go beyond the "college is an investment" cliché and look at the brutal, uncomfortable data regarding which degrees actually provide a positive return on investment in 2025.
Since 1980, the cost of a public university has more than doubled in real terms, while graduate wages have only increased by 20%. Today, we break the taboo of questioning degree value using math.
In this video, we cover:
• The Broken Promise: Why the "supply" of graduates has exploded and killed the degree premium.
• The ROI Tier List: We rank degrees from "Clear Winners" like Computer Science and Engineering to the "Danger Zone" where some programs have a negative lifetime ROI exceeding $100,000.
• The Hidden Variables: Why where you go to school and where you live can change your math entirely.
• The Alternatives: Why trades, coding bootcamps, and sales careers are often the smarter financial move.
• The Survival Guide: What to do if you already have a low-ROI degree, including skill stacking and strategic job hopping.
If you’re a student, parent, or graduate wondering where your money went, this is for you. Don't let a decision you made at 18 cripple your next 20 years.
