Original: How education has become about the most bang for your buck

The piece reflects a broader shift in which schools and universities are evaluated as economic investments rather than purely academic pursuits, a framing that is drawing attention amid rising tuition and ongoing debates about the value of higher education.

Why now: Families and policymakers are actively debating whether degrees still justify their rising cost.
