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? &amp;nbsp; As Jesse balks at the eye watering price of Yale (over $100k a year now), he urges listeners to really check in with their &quot;why&quot; for college, get clear about their priorities, and not get caught up in the hype of prestige. &amp;nbsp; Resources mentioned in this episode:   The Price You Pay for College by Ron Lieber  &amp;nbsp; Watch The Jesse Mecham Show on YouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@jessemechamshow &amp;nbsp; Got a question for Jesse?
