It's no secret, college is expensive. But if you haven't looked in a few years, college has gotten really expensive, especially certain schools with a lot of name recognition and clout. Jesse has a senior in high school, so as he's been helping with the college application process, he's been pondering: is college worth it? And more importantly, is every college worth it?   As Jesse balks at the eye watering price of Yale (over $100k a year now), he urges listeners to really check in with their "why" for college, get clear about their priorities, and not get caught up in the hype of prestige.   Resources mentioned in this episode: <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Price-You-Pay-College-Financial-ebook/dp/B081FFJTZP/ref=sr_1_3?crid=15N9N2435UTA0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.WoI_zeglaMacmro61pVshi9Kqy2FHp_huWj0zCNQeIuoT6afmBlvQ_vTeZneNUZ1M2CFhIP1l68AfnRYUSdNTA.vLE-3sKooYS8tmkLiR9sVYcGDHrrGQuS55u6evv2Z84&dib_tag=se&keywords=ron+lieber+the+price+you+pay+for+college&qid=1758463718&sprefix=Ron+lieber+%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-3"> The Price You Pay for College by Ron Lieber</a></li> </ul>   Watch The Jesse Mecham Show on YouTube: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/@jessemechamshow">https://www.youtube.com/@jessemechamshow</a>   Got a question for Jesse?
