Yo! What is up everyone, it has been a MINUTE since we released an episode! A couple of updates below:

1. This is a different type of episode as this is a talk that Justin Nguyen (your host) and Armel Talla did at SXSW EDU earlier this year. It's all about the student perspective and how higher educational institutions can work on engaging their students using social media.

2. We are looking for a new host of the podcast! No real requirements other than being a people person and you're currently in college! If you're interested, please email Justin at justin@declassifiedmedia.co (Don't worry, we handle all of the editing!)

3. We are looking to expand Declassified Media's social media presence with the launch of 2 more pages. @declassifiedcompsci and @declassifiedfinance. If you're interested, please email Justin at justin@declassifiedmedia.co

There aren't any requirements to the pages other than being technical major (for @declassifiedcompsci) and a finance major (@declassifiedfinance) and being a people person who is open to being on camera! This would be a trial period and if you're a fit with the team a paid position to be a content creator! (Don't worry, we would handle all of the editing!)

This season has been one of my favorites as I've opened up more as well as it has been on a topic that has been at the top of my mind all year. As you are getting back onto campus, seeing people for the first time in a long time, and so many more experiences; college can be a place that could make or break your mental health.

Whose crazy enough to move halfway across the country with $1000 to find a job in tech without any tech experience?

Sean Thielen is and I came across his story after his Tweetstorm went viral.

Sean graduated from UCLA with a degree in biology and turned down a job offer before moving to New York.

This is part 1 of our 2-part series with Sean talking about why he made that decision and how he found his first tech internship in New York.

There is also an amazing story that could only happen in NY at the end.

Did you know that over 50% of students regret going to their university and over 25% transfer schools at least once? Yea, a lot of that is because students don't have much to go off of when choosing their college out of high school.

This episode is all about how you can ask a few questions to find the right college campus and some specific aspects to look for. We partnered up with StudentSide to bring this episode to you all!

Books we shared:

Money: Master The Game by Tony Robbins

The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing by Taylor Larimore, Mel Lindauer, Michael Leboeuf

The democratization of investing = lowering the barrier of entry to investing.

Before companies like Public.com were a thing, you would need about $10,000 to start investing and you would pay $7 to make a trade. With 69% of the US adult population having less than $1,000 in their savings account, for college students investing was pretty much impossible.

Introducing Public.com the best app to get started with investing. They have all of the features that the other guys have in the investing space, but the biggest difference is there is a social side. You can see what stocks are in people's profiles and when they are making trades. If you want to get a piece of the investing pie, sign up now using this link: https://bit.ly/DCxPublic and get $10 of a piece of a stock.

*Offer valid for U.S. residents 18 and subject to account approval. See Public.com/disclosures.

MBAs typically cost between $50,000 - $80,000... should you get one?

We've covered topics from when is the best time to get an MBA to how to pass the exams to get into the top programs. But should you even get one?

In this episode you will hear from:

Frank Wisdo - Chief Acquisition Officer at E Enginuity, MBA from Florida Institute of Technology

Robert Leonard - Corporate Finance Manager at DN Tanks, VP of Growth at Investor's Podcast Network, Host of 2 podcasts, Real Estate Investing and Millennial Investing. MBA from UMass

Josh David - MBA from University of South California, currently looking for a job

Brian Kornfield - Co-Founder and President of Synapse, MBA from University of South Florida

Instead of going into student debt, learn how to get your graduate college degree with a few cheat codes.

You will hear from:

The professor JT - John Turner, helps college students find the funding for their graduate degrees

York Chuang - got his first Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering and is now getting his MBA from USC. He is also a graduate intern for Nike right now.

Leslie Garcia - is getting her Master's paid for by being a graduate intern at Southern Connecticut State University

Prepare yourself for to study... a lot of studying to say the least.

The GRE, GMAT, LSAT, and MCAT are huge factors in the admissions process and if you want to get into a good school, you better get a high score.

High scores = getting into a top school = typically a higher salary than if you graduate from an "average" school.

That's just the facts.

I brought Mike Bergin and Amy Seely (the co-hosts of the Tests and the Rest podcast) on to share their insights into how to best prepare for these exams!

Just like how undergrad has SATs and ACTs, for graduate school you have MCATs, LSATs, GMATs, and GREs.

You will hear from Mike Bergin, host of the Tests and the Rests podcast, Founder of Chariot Learning, about what each of these exams consists of.
