Another interesting article. This one postulates that College degrees are still worh it, but argues that two year degrees can be more valuable than four year degrees for certain occupations.

College Degree Found Worth the Expense

Snippet:

Quote:Who earns more, a recent graduate from a flagship state university with a bachelor's degree or one who finishes a two-year program at a little-known community college?

The answer isn't so clear.

As states for the first time mine certain degree data from public colleges, they are finding salaries for holders of associate degrees in a technical field are outstripping many grads with four-year degrees, at least early in a career.

The growing body of data, from states including Texas, Colorado and Indiana, takes a sober new look at the value of a postsecondary education in a slowly recovering economy.

Overall, the findings reinforce a college degree is worth it. But they highlight the reconsideration of a long-held article of faith that a four-year college degree guarantees at least a middle-class life while an associate degree is its poor country cousin.
