Is College Still Worth It?

Scott Galloway breaks down the state of American higher education. The largest birth cohort in the country’s history just finished its first year of college, and every class behind it is smaller — but the demographic cliff may be the least of our problems. Confidence in higher ed has fallen to 38%, economists can’t agree on whether the wage premium is rising or falling, and the research on elite schools says prestige matters far less than what you choose to study. Meanwhile a new federal rule will start scoring every degree program in the country on a single question: do graduates out-earn someone who never enrolled? Scott walks through what the newest data actually shows.
