Tim’s take
His baseline position is that college is a financial scam — student loans removed any incentive to keep costs down, kids graduate broke with degrees that have no workplace value, and trades now pay better anyway 10:00 24:10 42:29 54:48. He softens this when talking about himself, saying he regrets skipping it for the dorm-life, growing-up-with-peers experience even while standing by his own path 36:11 21:31.
