This episode's title refers to a psychological phenomenon where people overestimate how widespread a behavior is because the most visible members of their social circle are doing it. Liz surveys 76 students to examine whether teens are overestimating how common professional signaling behaviors like having a job, dressing for work, and building a LinkedIn profile actually are. The most memorable moment comes when we turn the lens on the room she's sitting in and we ask whether AP Research itself might be subject to the same forces she spent a year studying.
