Axios - Nearly two-thirds of registered voters believe a college degree isn't worth the cost — a stunning shift in sentiment from just one decade ago, according to an NBC News poll out this morning.
The eye-popping shift "comes against the backdrop of several major trends shaping the job market and the education world, from exploding college tuition prices to rapid changes in the modern economy" — namely, AI.
63% agreed 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."
Just 33% agreed that 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." In 2013, 53% in a CNBC poll said a degree was worth it. 40% said it wasn't. More
