Data from @chronicle: "Nearly 80% of [Americans] with a #college degree said the cost was worth it…[But] the positive attitudes…tend to follow salaries. About 88% of higher earners — those with a household income greater than $100,000 — said their degree benefits outweighed the cost…Only 63% of graduates in households with incomes less than $50,000 said their degree benefits outweighed the cost." https://www.chronicle.com/newsletter/weekly-briefing/2023-09-09
