Welcome to the 24th episode of the Steem Sister Show!
Your hosts are @coruscate and @maryjaney. We are two sisters using the Steem blockchain to chat about our life experiences and provide a little entertainment value to the Steemit Community.
Topic of this Episode – Higher Education - Part 2
We got SO many amazing questions for part one, that we decided to split this episode into a two-parter! My friend @larrymorrison actually emailed me 4 incredible questions, and we just couldn't choose - so here they are!
In part one, we got a little bit more into our specific educational stories and chatted a bit about higher education's changing role in society. In this episode, we over some of that - but go much deeper into the topic of student debt and the surrounding cost of college.
Here are the questions covered this week:
- Tell us about your approach to paying for college.
- Audience question #1 from @felix.herrmann – Do we really need colleges? You can learn so much on your own from YouTube and the internet.
- Audience question #2 from @felix.herrmann - Do you think too many people are in college? We need good plumbers.
- Audience question #1 from @larrymorrison - Besides the staggering cost of higher education, what is the one thing you would like to see change?
- Audience question #2 from @larrymorrison - Do you think free college is a good idea? Why or why not?
- Audience question #3 from @larrymorrison -Based on what you have been through or what you see happening in our country today what would you do to warn highschoolers about higher education?
- Audience question #4 from @larrymorrison -To piggyback off of #3, what would you like to see shift in high school to improve higher education?
Wow, thanks for all the great questions you guys!
What is the Steem Sister Show All About?
We aim to bring more “non-crypto” related content to the Steem Blockchain. Although there is nothing wrong with this kind of content (@corsucate even posts on crypto related material sometimes) – we want to help create a better onboarding experience for new users. We talk a lot about attracting new users to the platform – but if the trending page is filled with crypto posts and flagging wars, they are likely to lose interest quickly.
We hope that by creating content that is more similar to what they are used to seeing on other social media sites – they will feel more excited about being here and creating content of their own!
How Does It Work?
We pick a different topic every episode, and then throw totally random questions about that topic in a hat and go back and forth. We always have a mix of our own questions and some audience questions. Our rule is that we cannot tell each other our answers before filming! So you guys are getting our raw, unfiltered reactions here.
Every episode we announce the next week’s topic so people can submit questions.

Next Week’s Topic :Restaurants
In next week's episode - we will be chatting all about one of our favorite topics - food. More specifically though, we will discuss our views on fast food, what kinds of restaurants we like, what we look for, what is a deal breaker etc.
I think you guys already know that there will probably be loads of sushi references.
If you would like the possibility of winning 2 SBD - please submit your questions! Anything on the topic of restaurants is fair game.
PLUS... if you have your own money saving hack you'd like to share - feel free to leave that below! We'd love to get as many great ideas together as possible to discuss on our show next week.
Listener questions always end up being the best ones - so thank you in advance to everyone who submits one!
That’s a Wrap!
We hope you enjoyed watching part two of our Higher Education series! We really enjoyed chatting more about this topic - so thank you to everyone who submitted such great questions between both episodes.
