NBC Poll: Majority Now See College Degree as Poor Investment

Over six in ten registered voters now deem a four-year college degree not worth the financial cost, marking a significant shift in public perception since 2013. This skepticism is widespread, with Republicans showing the most dramatic change, now with only 22% believing a degree is worthwhile. The rising cost of college, with average in-state tuition at public four-year colleges doubling since 1995, is largely to blame for this growing public skepticism. The Daily News Now! - Every city.
