“More Americans are wising up to the fact that higher education has become a raw deal for all too many young people. A new NBC News poll finds that a full 63% of voters believe a four-year college degree now isn’t worth it, since many students graduate with ‘a large amount of debt’ but ‘no specific job skills.’ That’s up markedly from 2013, when a majority took the opposite view, as 53% called a degree ‘worth the cost because people have a better chance to get a good job and earn more money over their lifetime.’ That was the case for generations of Americans, who saw college as a key step to higher-paying jobs and a better life: ‘Upwardly mobile’ was almost entirely synonymous with ‘college-educated.’ But over the last few decades, the dynamic has shifted: Far too many college degrees guarantee nothing … except onerous debt.” (11/30/25)
