PrepWell Podcast with Phil Black

In today's episode, I dispel a myth circulating around the internet suggesting that your college major is the most important factor in determining your future earning potential. I beg to differ. Yes, your college major is important, but it is not the deciding factor, especially with AI disrupting the job market in such profound ways. Please give this episode a listen if your child is wondering what to major in, or how their major may impact their job prospects after graduation.Follow us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll in PrepWell Academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give us a reviewShare this episode with a friendJoin our mailing list (by opting in on the homepage or in this article)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ your 9th or 10th grader in the programPrepWell Academy's Founder, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Phil Black⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, has spent a lifetime cracking the code on the world's most competitive programs: Yale University, Harvard Business School, Navy SEALs, Goldman Sachs, Entrepreneurship, Shark Tank (2X), etc.

In today's episode, I discuss an issue that doesn't get a lot of air-time. LonelinessOf the many challenges that face new college students, loneliness is one that can fly under the radar. It's not often talked about, but it can wreak havoc. Before your child heads out the door, please give this episode a listen.

In today's episode, I discuss the how much (or how little) a "campus culture" can influence your child's world view.I look at three different students:street-smart student middle-of-the-road student clueless studentAnd 3 different campus environments:political (conservative or progressive)religious (faith-friendly or secular)social permissiveness (strict or anything goes)How will different campus cultures influence different types of students?Will that influence be positive or negative?Follow us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll in PrepWell Academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give us a reviewShare this episode with a friendJoin our mailing list (by opting in on the homepage or in this article)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ your 9th or 10th grader in the programPrepWell Academy's Founder, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Phil Black⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, has spent a lifetime cracking the code on the world's most competitive programs: Yale University, Harvard Business School, Navy SEALs, Goldman Sachs, Entrepreneurship, Shark Tank (2X), etc.

In today's episode, I assume the role of a typical 17-yr old who claims he's interested in majoring in "business".Until today, it would be commonplace for that student to have a very superficial understanding of what it takes to become a business major, what types of jobs are available in the "business world", how much money he stands to make, etc. That student has officially been put on notice. Ignorance, laziness, or lack of resources are no longer viable excuses. Listen to how I interact with ChatGPT, as if it's my own personal guru, to become a subject matter expert on the topic in a matter of minutes. No trips to the library, no reading, no coordinating internships, no shadow sessions, no hook-up from your parents.
