0:00.0 | Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture. It's The Wall Builder Show. We're taking on the hot topics of the day from a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective. And the winning just continues. So many good things happening right now. It feels like every day is a good news Friday. Today is also a good |
0:21.2 | news program because kids are getting the right worldview, new programs developing all the time to |
0:27.1 | help replace colleges, which is what we need to do so they don't waste money for four years and |
0:31.9 | waste four years of their life and go get indoctrinated. So, you know, for some kids, it might still |
0:36.5 | be the good idea to go to college. |
0:37.8 | If you're going to be an engineer, doctor, lawyer, or whatever. But, man, I am loving the fact that more and more of |
0:42.3 | these programs are offering the same opportunity my three kids, three of my four kids, had the opportunity to do at Leaders Academy in Hot Springs. |
0:49.3 | And later in the program, we got Jeff Myers with us, who does Summit Ministries, which has a summer program, and they have |
0:54.4 | a Gap Your program as well. So it's going to be great to talk to Jeff about that. Tim, you've, of course, |

1:36.9 | what university their student goes to and if it's prestigious, et cetera, et cetera. But the reality is, |
1:42.6 | it's like, I think it's less than 27% of students that |
1:47.9 | once they graduate, they find a job in, not in the specific arena of their degree, but in the |
1:56.2 | generalized field of their degree. I think it's around one fourth. I think it's a little under 27%. |
2:03.7 | And this was from a couple years ago. I can't imagine it's improved since then. But most kids get a |
