The latest NBC News poll shows two-thirds of registered voters down on the value proposition of a degree. A majority said degrees were worth the cost a dozen years ago.
Americans have grown sour on one of the longtime key ingredients of the American dream.
Almost two-thirds of registered voters say that a four-year college degree isn’t worth the cost, according to a new NBC News poll, a dramatic decline over the last decade.
Just 33% agree a four-year college degree is “worth the cost because people have a better chance to get a good job and earn more money over their lifetime,” while 63% agree more with the concept that it’s “not worth the cost because people often graduate without specific job skills and with a large amount of debt to pay off.”
same situation, but minus the interships. biotech, research almost next to no jobs in the field unless you have significant undergrad experience, and getting lab experience while undergrad seems very limited. and when i look at the people employed or in the labs, its almost dominated 1 demographic, which apparently has been given a leg up for years, hence why dominate the biology field(mostly around health).
