INSIDE HIGHER ED
— Doubts About Value Are Deterring College Enrollment. Survey data suggests that prospective learners are being dissuaded from college by skepticism about whether degrees are worth the time and money. – Jessica Blake (COMMENT: I spent lots of time and lots of money earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997. Those degrees helped me get hired by Firestone Stores in 1970, by IRS in 1971, and by GAO in 1980. They helped me get promoted by IRS in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and by GAO in 1986. They helped me pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. They helped me become a licensed CPA in 1981. They helped me earn job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997.)
