This is the Todd and Time Radio Empire.

New study published in education, economics funds,

and college graduates are significantly less likely to get married, especially in their 20s and 30s because they're smarter. Which is just says that. They're smarter. These are new ones, push. You've been out of college a long time. Graduates. You've got to be a graduate? Graduate, yeah. Here's a deal. When people are graduating from college, they've got other options, but then just get married. They want to find out they're choosing their partners more wisely and they're other educated people

opportunities timelines and expectations are all changed smarter because you shouldn't get married

at all it's dumb all right uh researchers from iowa university analyzed the u s iowa there you go

over 8 million Americans determine

higher education shake up the dating and marriage game. Basically, people are, found education

changed more in a person's resume. It also shifts her opportunities, timelines, expectations,

like Puss said, right? Yeah. Every extra year you spend in college reduces the chances of being

married between 25 and 34 by 4%.. I did, but I really got to pursue that geography degree. I still don't know what I can do with it. Well, yeah, some geography stuff. We're coming up here, the oldest state and oldest city in every state. I went through that yesterday. Oh, did you? Yeah, because I thought, well, that's interesting that's interesting sort of yeah did you guess any of them uh you know i tried to guess i

tried to guess pennsylvania but it was it wasn't philly it was chester which is kind of right there

right spoiler alert yeah yeah yeah yeah it was so so gripping damn i'll tell you the craziest part, Todd, is the years the towns were established. Oh, yeah. And how far, I mean, some of the ones up in the Northeast were in the 1500s. Right, way before the revolution. Right, exactly. I knew North Dakota and then, you know, St. Augustine. You knew North Dakota? Yeah, St. Augustine, Florida. But that's obvious, right, right. That's the oldest city in the country. Yeah. This established cities. Puss, Nebraska, guess. Ah, I don't know. Well, I think about it. It's got to be something from the east to the west. Now, Omaha? Nope. Bellevue, which is below Omaha, which now is just Omaha. I hate when they say that, but it is. All right. Anyway, this, you know, staying in college thing. Yeah, this is smart stuff, right. They said that the other upside to this is if you're waiting longer to get married, you're also more likely to have it stick. Because you've been through some stuff and you know, you kind of, you got your life a little set up. That doesn't always work out. I mean, it's not 100% obviously. Nothing is, right. I wait a really long. But the numbers are higher.

And it says, you know.

Well, yeah, because there's less time in your life. Sure. Yeah, you're right. Well, and you've also kind of figured your crap out. I did. You know? I did. You know, but you have to have both of the people figuring their crap out. There's that. There's that. You just don't cheat on people.

Well, yeah.

There's that.

But the number actually, they said 80%. With another homewrecker. Back in the day, 25 to 34-year-olds, 80% were married. By 2023, that number is down to 38%. Yeah, I think the younger generation is going to be a little bit more. I mean, I don just going to, I don't know if it's going to go away. They'll never go away.

That's why we got to build a robot wombs.

That's right. Crank out more white babies.

More educated someone is, the more likely they are to want to partner with a similar background and they're willing to wait for it.

Yeah, I can see that. You know? Mm-hmm. The college graduates seem to be more picky. Yep. And that's fine. Yeah, that's fine. Be picky. Yeah. Yeah. I suppose I could be a map maker, but that probably involves some art. Are you looking for your second career? Yeah, yeah.

Or just for a career with this is? Is this your way of telling us you're quitting,
