Ryan and Hannah Maruyama on College, Applying for Jobs Without a Degree, and What College Students Put on Their Resumes

In the first episode of Degree Free, Ryan and Hannah talk about the origin of Degree Free and how and why they started the podcast.

The shocking fact is that most Americans have never been told that they do not HAVE to go to college.

Ryan and Hannah talk about what you can do instead of go to college, and an unbelievable conversation they had with both of their teenage sisters before they went to college.

What can't you do if you don't go to college?

• Doctors/most medical
• Lawyers in most states
• High Level DoD/gov't employees
• Astronauts (for now, come on Elon.)

What can you do instead of college:

• Get a job in your desired field
• Find paid training or have a company pay for you
• Ask a business owner to train you
• Buy a business and include training in the sale
• Get a professional certification

Hannah explains her theory about the education requirement for Space X astronauts in the next 10 years.
