[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just 33% agree a four-year college degree is [b]“worth the cost because people have a better chance to get a good job and earn more money over their lifetime,”[/b] while 63% agree more with the concept that it’s [b]“not worth the cost because people often graduate without specific job skills and with a large amount of debt to pay off.”[/b] In 2017, U.S. adults surveyed were virtually split on the question — 49% said a degree was worth the cost and 47% said it wasn’t. When CNBC asked the same question in 2013 as part of its All American Economic Survey, 53% said a degree was worth it and 40% said it was not. [/quote] What a fantastically poorly worded and structured poll. My business stats/policy professor would be horrified. Both of these things can be true without the "worth" statement. The authors of this little poll are jimmying the results by their wording. [/quote]
