In this episode of the After Hours Dialogue, we unpack whether a university degree still carries weight in South Africa, and even globally in 2025—or if it’s become an overpriced piece of paper. With rising tuition fees, high graduate unemployment, and an economy where hustlers, content creators, and entrepreneurs are thriving without formal education, we ask: is the traditional route still worth it? Or are young South Africans and even the global youth better off skipping the lecture halls and building their own financial future?

Expect honesty, satire, and a few uncomfortable truths about the system, the culture, and what real success looks like in the world today.
