It's the $320,000 question both parents and students are asking themselves: Is that four-year liberal arts degree really worth it? According to Brandeis University President Arthur Levine, it's a question they should, indeed, be asking. In his co-authored book The Great Upheaval, Levine argues that the United States is experiencing a profound transformation not seen since the Industrial Revolution—when America's classical colleges adapted to meet the needs of an emerging industrial economy. So what, exactly, does that mean for a useful liberal arts education today? Should students really invest their time in women's studies in our AI age of Claude and ChatGPT?1. America is experiencing its second great transformation in historyLevine argues we're in a shift from national analog industrial economies to global digital knowledge economies—comparable only to the Industrial Revolution. This creates massive winners and losers, with educational level becoming the primary dividing line in society.2. The $320K liberal arts degree must prove its worthTraditional liberal arts education isn't enough anymore. Levine is reforming Brandeis's curriculum to combine “durable life skills” (critical thinking, communication) with practical “career skills,” creating a second transcript to show employers what graduates can actually do.3. Higher education is splitting into two unequal systemsWe're developing one system for the wealthy (traditional campus experience) and another for working people (online education). Only 20% of college students now fit the traditional model of 18-24 year-olds attending full-time on campus.4. Universities are under political attack because they represent changeThe populist backlash against “elite” institutions isn't really about ideology—it's about anger from those left behind by economic transformation. Universities are being scapegoated as symbols of a changing world that has hurt many working-class Americans.5. Federal policies are actively damaging higher educationInternational student visa denials, research funding cuts based on forbidden words, and threats of deportation for student activists are isolating America and weakening universities' capacity to innovate and compete globally.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Send us a textFor decades in India, a college degree has been treated like a golden ticket. Parents proudly frame it, relatives ask for it at weddings, and society believes it guarantees success. But here is the shocker—your college degree could actually be holding you back. Sounds unbelievable, right? We are told from childhood that “beta, first get a degree, then everything will be easy.” Yet when you look closely at the job market of 2024 and beyond, you see a different story.Connect With Kapeel Guptaor Click on the link: http://bit.ly/4jlql8sWhat You May Learn00:00 Introduction02:11 Mission Statement02:50 Reason 1: Outdated Curriculum Vs Rapid Industry Shifts04:13 Reason 2: Student Debt as a Career Ball and Chain05:32 Reason 3: Credential Inflation and the Vanishing Signal Value06:35 Reason 4: Soft Skill Deficit - The Classroom Vs The Real World07:53 Reason 5: Opportunity Cost - Missing Out on Side Hustle & Internships 09:11 What You Can Do Instead10:27 Conclusion11:15 Call to ActionSupport the show

Is a college degree still worth the rising cost? As student loan debt climbs and tuition skyrockets, more families and young adults are asking whether a traditional four-year education offers a worthwhile return on investment. In this episode, we break down the financial data behind college costs, degree value by major, and explore growing alternatives like trade schools, certifications, and apprenticeships. Richard Rosso & Susan Buenger posit whether higher education is still the smart path — or if it's time to rethink the college equation.

The dip in global population is something that's been gaining attention as of late, but mostly in the abstract. Something concrete in that dip is about to come due this fall, a staggering drop in the number of available 18+ year olds for the traditional college path. The first bellwether in what my guest for this episode labeled in a piece that, America is about to go over the ‘demographic cliff'. Journalist Jon Marcus, joins for this episode to explore the intersection of demographic shifts, higher education, and the implications for the workforce. The conversation highlights the decline in birth rates, the resulting impact on college enrollment, and the broader economic consequences of college closures. We also get into the cultural perceptions of the value of a college degree and the challenges faced by institutions in adapting to these changes. Before ending on potential strategies for colleges to navigate the impending demographic cliff and its effects on education and the economy.

In this episode of The Startup Therapy Podcast, Ryan and Will discuss the true value of a college education for aspiring entrepreneurs. They explore whether the traditional path through higher education is the best route for those determined to start their own businesses. With personal anecdotes and economic insights, they argue that college may not always be the ideal path for founders, emphasizing the benefits of real-world experience and early entrepreneurial efforts. They also discuss societal expectations, financial implications, and alternative approaches to gaining the necessary knowledge and skills.Resources:Startup Therapy Podcast https://www.startups.com/community/startup-therapyWebsitehttps://www.startups.com/beginLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/startups-co/Join our Network of Top Founders Wil Schroterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/wilschroter/Ryan Rutanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-rutan/What to listen for:00:17 The Value of a College Degree for Founders00:55 Challenging the College Norm01:37 A Real-Life Example: Skipping College for Startups03:14 Generational Expectations and College07:25 The Economics of College Education08:04 The Financial Impact of College vs. Investing14:19 The Opportunity Cost of College for Founders20:21 The Power of Compounding Experiences20:35 Learning at Your Own Pace20:58 The Irrelevance of Traditional Education22:19 Founders Need a Broad Skillset22:57 The Limitations of College24:33 Alternative Learning Paths25:57 The Value of Practical Experience27:44 The Diminishing Value of a College Degree29:13 Questioning the College Path33:30 The Founder Mindset40:18 Restarting the Conversation on Education

In this episode, I'm picking up on a topic we've been talking about—credibility, credentials, and who people choose to listen to. I've got a college degree in business from Pennsylvania State University, so I'm not speaking as someone who's against education. But I'm asking a real question today: does a college degree actually mean you're competent? Some folks with degrees might not like what I have to say, but I'm here to tell the truth. Let's not delay the inevitable. Let's get into it. Show Notes:  [02:28]#1 Holding a college degree does not make you competent.  [10:47]#2 Having a degree or credential doesn't automatically make your words valid or worth following. [20:06]#3 Your argument should stand on its own merit, not on your credentials or resume.

If you are a listener to this podcast, it's very likely that you went to cosmetology school. It's also likely that those classes never added up to a degree. Right now, that is changing. L'Oreal has teamed up with Arizona's Mesa Community College and Arizona State University to create The Lead Institute, a program where cosmetology school graduates can apply credits from beauty school towards an associates or bachelors degree.  In this episode, host Blake Reed Evans and Sherilynn Smart talk about going back to school, not an easy endeavor for any busy professional. But, even with a full schedule, doing hair and working in education, Sherilynn is finding time to get a degree in less than one year.  From planning your schedule to getting a full scholarship, Sherilynn tells us how she did it, and how anyone who has been to cosmetology school can make this move for themselves.This episode was originally published in January 2022. Reach out to Sherilynn Smart SSmartt@Redken.comFollow her on Instagram @Sherilynn_RedkenThe Lead website is: www.leadinstitute.degree.  On Facebook it's: Lead Rolfs Global Institute.  And on Instagram it's @leadrolfsglobalinstitute.SUMM IT UP is produced by Andrea Muraskin, with editorial support from Tim Fisk.

Most Californians want their kids to go to college, but in this era of rising costs and exponential tuition inflation, is it even worth it? Many California families worry about whether they can afford to send their kids to college, and are trying to pencil out whether it makes economic sense in uncertain times to spend the money, or take on potentially crushing debt to help their kids get a higher education. Well, a new study took a look at that, to do the cost-benefit analysis of investing in a college degree, and for more, KCBS Political reporter Doug Sovern spoke with one of the authors of that study. Marisol Cuellar Mejia is a research fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California, she has two masters degrees in economics.

will you be forever broke and careerless if you don't go to college? turns out you'll probably be okay. in this episode we talk about the alternative options to a financially stable career that doesn't require a 4 year degree because rising college costs, doubts about the payoff, and selective admissions are causing many to reconsider traditional higher education paths. we talk with people that have made a living without a degree and ask about how they did it, if they have any regrets and then later bring on david deming as an expert who can guide us on the value of a college degree.  so maybe the key to a good life isn't a business degree but simply a career as a plumber or IT worker. life gets so much simpler (and less expensive) if you realize that early lol Follow GrownKid on Instagram: @Grownk1d JOIN OUR SOCIAL CLUB IN LOS ANGELES: https://form.typeform.com/to/eBSho4lE About Our Partners: GrownKid is made possible by the Schultz Family Foundation, dedicated to helping young people unlock their full potential and successfully navigate to fulfilling careers.

A lot of things will really change over the course of this week, no matter the election outcome. And with that, we were thinking it would be good to share a conversation that would be illuminating regardless of what happens. Over the past few decades, American society has experienced seismic changes. One of the trends we have seen is a rightward shift towards the Republican Party among voters without a four-year college degree and a pro democratic center-left shift of voters who have a four-year college degree. There's a lot to unpack about what has animated these changes. Matt Grossmann is the director of the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research and a professor of political science at Michigan State University. Dave Hopkins is a political scientist at Boston College. Grossmann and Hopkins are the co-authors of “Polarized by Degrees: How the Diploma Divide and the Culture War Transformed American Politics.” They join WITHpod to discuss the origin of these trends, the effects on both major parties and more. 

American politics are divided in many ways, including based on their education background. To explore this so-called diploma divide, Judy Woodruff visited two neighboring, but very different, counties in Michigan where both candidates have repeatedly made their case as this year's campaign nears the end. It's part of her series, America at a Crossroads. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
