Most people enroll in higher education intending to better themselves economically. However, this is still a dream for more than a quarter of students. While earning a good salary after completing higher education is a reasonable expectation, many institutions do not provide the value students expect. This study shows that higher education isn't always worth the cost.
While the data may be disappointing, this study's findings may not be indicative of most higher education institutions. Other studies on the economic impact of higher education have found that increased education strongly correlates with higher earnings and, at the very least, correlates with lower poverty rates.
