[quote=Anonymous]I think this isn't nearly as black and white as people think. I think college degrees have added value for black and Latino kids. I also think that college degrees often provide access to more white collar jobs, with more pleasant working conditions, benefits, a longer career span and fewer chances of getting injured on the job. Even if the lifetime earnings were the same, I would prefer to work at a white collar job than, for example, as a heating and a/c tech because hard, physical labor takes a toll on your body. All of this always depends on the person, how academically inclined they are, how college finances will work out and what their own personality/ goals are. I know a kid who graduated in the middle of the pandemic from a very good private university with an arts major and, despite the charts, is earning over $60k. Is that a lot less than an engineering major? Sure - but it's more than he would have been earning without the degree. [/quote]
