First of all, sorry to have posted right after you, Seana. I must have been working on my post while you added this. Oops!
Second, I do feel like I've been hearing more about this lately. Maybe it's tied to our economic problems and graduates are having more and more trouble finding work.
That said, I thought there was still a very strong correlation between income level and college degrees. It seems to me that while it's been harder for college grads to find work, it's been even tougher for those without.
i suspect it's more about the value of your investment, especially if you're taking out loans. and, also, if you're at a place that charges $50,000/year to attend. is that really worth it? dunno, but i'm skeptical.
Dave, you can out-post/up-post/over-post my peripheral posts any time!
I agree with what I think Ilsa is saying - not that ALL college educations are devalued, but that at some point, the price tag outweighs the advantages of having a degree. About to post something similar...
