Original: Belief that college is very important hits new low, poll finds
A new poll finds that the share of people who believe a college education is very important has fallen to its lowest level on record. The Washington Post reported the finding, which adds to ongoing debate over rising tuition costs, student debt, and whether degrees still pay off in the job market. Commentators are weighing what the shift means for universities and employers.
Why now: Skepticism about the value of higher education is growing amid high tuition costs and questions about return on investment.
