With college tuition continuously increasing and showing no signs of slowing down, many people have been asking, "Is college still worth it?" I've had this conversation with students in multiple classes, and although they are all college students, the answers were pretty close to split.

Even with the soaring cost of college and the decline in college readiness, my simple answer is still yes. Listen and find out my reasonings. ]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/64195439Tue, 18 Feb 2025 19:18:26 +0000Daniel LeuIs college still worth it?  With college tuition continuously increasing and showing no signs of slowing down, many people have been asking, "Is college still worth it?"
