Did you know nearly 2 in 3 high school seniors think a college degree is not worth the cost? Or that due to high student loans, limited jobs and unemployment rate, 1 in 2 Americans believe a college degree is a questionable investment?
Did you also know that despite its bad reputation, a college degree is a good investment?
That’s the subject of a new white paper – now available for download – from the Ardeo Education Foundation.
Based off the latest research from sources such as the Pew Research Center, Washington Post, NACUBO and more, the paper explores why students and families are questioning the value of a college degree at alarming rates and how, in reality, attending college is still a smart investment.
