This week, we're talking about student loans and what it really cost to do what everybody told millennials to do: the $99,900 Jocelyn owed on one accounting degree, the for-profit college behind most of it, the class action lawsuit, the borrower defense claim, and the day her balance dropped to $34,000. We also get into the hairstylist who told clients to stop texting when they arrive, why tips are optional, whether doctors should make more than teachers, and the Long's versus Hart's donut update Indianapolis has been asking for. Whether you're navigating student loan debt you signed for before you understood it, customer service that expects you to serve it, or a city that will pray for you over a donut opinion, this episode will feel like sitting with two friends who truly get it. New episodes every Wednesday. Follow the podcast everywhere you listen.
