A recent survey by the Lumina Foundation and Gallup highlights continuing public doubts about the value of college degrees due to high costs. While 75% of U.S. adults aged 18-59 acknowledge the worth of a postsecondary degree, fewer than half find the costs of bachelor's or associate degrees fair. The survey reveals that though there is recognition of the value of education, many believe the financial burden is excessive. Moreover, a significant percentage of respondents still agree that investing in a degree is worthwhile, indicating a complex relationship between education, cost, and perceived benefits.
High costs associated with attending college are dampening public perception of degree value, with less than half finding the price of a degree fair.
Despite high costs, 63% of adults who haven't pursued a degree believe investing in a bachelor's is worthwhile, and 72% feel the same about an associate degree.
