067 | College: Jobs or Learning? & LinkedIn

08/16/22 • 49 min

What is college good for? We open up the conversation on whether college and academia should be for learning or workforce development. The implications are vast, and our opinions are fit to match. Then, our app is a worldwide favorite platform: LinkedIn. We suggest that this might be the best portfolio app that's ever been made. For more on our conversation, check out the episode page here.

Equatio is a digital math tool that will help you create and convert accessible math-type. Equations, symbols, and diagrams used to be difficult to make on a computer until Equatio.
