Is College Worth It?
The calculation is a simple one: a college degree is an investment, as it costs money and time, and some have argued that the return on investment (ROI) is no longer worth it, at least when it comes to certain degrees.
But we should ignore them. When thinking about whether college is "worth it", ROI is unhelpful - and, if used to inform policy, potentially harmful.
