Record-Low 31% of Americans Say College Education Is Important
Original: Record-Low 31% Say College Education Is 'Important'
A new Gallup poll finds that just 31% of respondents say a college education is 'important', the lowest figure recorded in the poll's history. The finding has drawn attention online, with commenters weighing in on rising tuition costs, student debt, and whether degrees still pay off in a changing job market where skills and credentials are increasingly questioned.
Why now: Growing public skepticism about the value and cost of higher education has made the poll's historic low resonate widely.
