When evaluating the worthiness of a college education, there are certain questions to consider: What do folks really learn in college? Is what people have learned in college what makes the education valuable, or could it be the simple fact of possessing a college degree that accomplishes gains after graduation? Then again, maybe the kinds of people who go to college are just the kinds of people who would have been great at anything they tried anyway — with or without that degree. It might be as an entrepreneur, or a leader of a powerful home security team. Whatever the case may be, it’s important to step back and take a look at some numbers.
