Changing the Education Paradigm /// Brandon Stover /// EP144:Part2

 

It's rare these days to get into the field you study in college, especially if you don't go onto a master's or Ph.D. program. 

The rising costs of education make it more and more challenging to pursue a field that doesn't set you back financially for a lifetime and aligns with how you want to live your life.

Brandon Stover is reimaging how to deliver education.   He envisions a practical approach that provides experiences, not just knowledge. 

His ultimate goal is to educate people about the desire while improving the quality of education brought to an employer.
