The latest NBC News poll shows two-thirds of registered voters down on the value proposition of a degree. A majority said degrees were worth the cost a dozen years ago.
Americans have grown sour on one of the longtime key ingredients of the American dream.
Almost two-thirds of registered voters say that a four-year college degree isn’t worth the cost, according to a new NBC News poll, a dramatic decline over the last decade.
Just 33% agree a four-year college degree is “worth the cost because people have a better chance to get a good job and earn more money over their lifetime,” while 63% agree more with the concept that it’s “not worth the cost because people often graduate without specific job skills and with a large amount of debt to pay off.”
I should have been an escalator repairman. Those guys look like they have job security.
Escalators don’t break, they turn into stairs.
Edit: This comment has been up 2 days and no one get the Mitch Hedberg reference. Fo same, Lemmy.
Escalators break, they just remain useful while broken. However, everyone would still rather they get back to how they were before (moving).
I notice they always have their shoelaces tied, too.
