The Long Game: What 25 Years of Higher Education Reporting Tells Us About College and Careers - ...

What if the idea of a “dream school” is shaping college decisions in all the wrong ways? In this episode of Path Found, I sit down with New York Times' bestselling author and journalist Jeffrey Selingo to unpack how students and families navigate one of the most consequential and misunderstood decisions of their lives. Drawing from his books There Is Life After College, Who Gets In and Why, and Dream School, Jeffrey explains why we put too much pressure on picking majors early, how prestige and rankings distort choice, and why most careers are built through skills, adaptability, and relationships rather than linear paths. We talk about the changing early‑career job market, the impact of AI, the importance of mentorship and belonging, and why many less‑selective institutions may actually prepare students better for the real world. This conversation is essential listening for students, parents, educators, and anyone questioning whether the traditional college narrative still serves today’s generation. 🎧 Listen to “Path Found Podcast” Real stories of pivots, side quests, and scenic routes that inspire new possibilities. 📅 New episodes drop every Thursday, starting October 2, 2025. 👉 Subscribe & Listen:    / @pathfoundpodcast   ★ Follow, rate, and share if you’ve ever taken the scenic route.
