Three questions everyone should ask before going to college, and how to look past the "all-expense-paid-vacation" marketing colleges are pitching. 

Ask an 18-year-old about their future education, and then ask a 38-year-old about their future education. What you’ll notice time and time again, is that the 18-year-old talks about where they're going to college while the 38-year-old tells you what they’re doing. Whether it's a degree, a license, or a certification, adults tend to focus on the credential. 

In today’s episode, we’re going to strip away some of the experience of romance and bring adult wisdom to the process.
