Subject: Re: Perceived Importance of College Hits Record Low 35
I think the data is very clear...the economic value of a college degree is very dependent on what the degree is in. Unfortunately, many colleges are not going to advertise this fact because it would put many departments in existential risk. For many of us, the investment was not large and the potential payout was. It is very much the case today that the reverse is in effect. By the time we got to our third child, we were pretty direct. If you want us to help pay for your education, there are certain degrees we will not fund.
