As student loan debt climbs and tuition skyrockets, more families and young adults are asking whether a traditional four-year education offers a worthwhile return on investment. In this episode, we break down the financial data behind college costs, degree value by major, and explore growing alternatives like trade schools, certifications, and apprenticeships.
Richard Rosso & Susan Buenger posit whether higher education is still the smart path — or if it's time to rethink the college equation.
