Higher Miseducation

College isn't for everyone:

32% of respondents said they have some confidence in higher education, and another 32% said they had very little or no faith in such institutions at all. The pollsters reported that confidence in higher education has fallen among all subgroups of the U.S. population over the past two decades, but the sharpest decline this year was among Republicans. Nine years ago, 56% of Republicans had a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in higher education, but today, the share has plummeted to 20%. But GOP voters aren't alone. Confidence among independents has fallen from 48% to 35% since 2015, and among Democrats, it has dropped from 68% down to 56%.

College is no longer what it was cracked up to be...
