Fox News Poll: Faith in higher education in the US is collapsing
A recent Fox News poll indicates a significant decline in faith in higher education among U.S. voters. Many now believe that pursuing a college degree is not worth the financial investment, with a majority suggesting that students should instead enter the workforce. Despite this skepticism, there remains a level of confidence in the quality of education provided by universities.
- ▪In 2006, 65% of voters believed a college degree was worth pursuing, but that number has now flipped.
- ▪Today, two-thirds of respondents think prospective college goers should invest their money and work instead.
- ▪Majorities of voters across various demographics now view a college degree as less important to success than it was a generation ago.
