Education Pays? — Part 2

Michael Robertson has a follow-up article/blog on how profitable it is for young people to attend college. The new facts he presents show that college is not for everyone, at least not from a strict Return On Investment view. However, one of the points that comes to my mind as I have read his recent exposé is that the economics are only part of the equation. Whether one can profit from it or not, the reality is that many employers demand a college degree. Sadly, employers sometimes take a college graduate with little or no experience over someone without the credentials and with practical knowledge. This has been a reality for sometime. Mr. Robertson's analysis is still very worthy reading.
