The university system is broken... but we may have a solution.

Brian King and Jeremy Smith take a hard look at the state of modern universities and why they may no longer be the golden ticket to success. From skyrocketing tuition costs to outdated curriculums, they break down the biggest issues plaguing higher education today.

Jeremy also introduces Pega6, his new venture aimed at redefining education. Pega6 runs product manager and software developer career accelerators that professionalize students specifically for those career paths. These accelerators offer a highly efficient, affordable education model that transforms recent high school graduates into entry-level employees who are job-ready on day one.

Is the traditional college model failing students? Are alternative education paths, like apprenticeships and self-directed learning, the future? Brian and Jeremy take a look at what’s next for higher education and whether degrees still hold the same value in today’s job market.

From the dangers of radiation on the way to Mars to the high cost of floating in orbit, the duo debates the ultimate question: How much would you pay for a ticket to space?They also dive into the bizarre science of time dilation, sprinkle in some Star Trek references, and share their differing views on whether today’s space travel is worth the risk—or if it’s better to wait for the space elevator of the future. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LODAS Markets is the first marketplace for Alternative Investment transactions.
