I’m sure you’ve noticed the skyrocketing price of college tuition and the plummeting value of a bachelor’s degree. So much so that the cost has tripled in 20 years with the average annual cost being over $35,000. This does not include loan interest and loss of income, correcting for that, the total cost can be over $400,000! If you include using that money for investments the price tag increases even more. One might think that with that price tag, once you graduate, you’d be able to hit the ground running in your desired occupation. However, if you think that you’d be wrong since it’s reported that 94% of organizations offer skill-based training. So why are you spending all this time and money on a degree when it’s difficult to determine the ACTUAL value of it?
1) Colleges know they can charge more when it’s not your money.
o Some schools charge 75% more in tuition when students are eligible for federal loans.
2) The people who run the colleges are picking your pockets and future earnings.
o Between 1993 and 2007, instructional spending per student increased by 39% compared to a 61% increase in administrative spending per student.
3) It allows you a semi-carefree life in a low-stress environment.
o The largest stress in your life can be waking up for an 8 am class.
4) Over 39% of former students aren’t sure of the value of their degree
o Over 68% of those students say they aren’t using their degree or can’t find a job with it.
5) On the upside, it allows you the time to develop with minimal outside pressure.
