The article discusses the author and his wife's belief in the value of their college degrees compared to their son’s plan to attend flight school instead of a four-year university. With rising tuition costs and increasing student debt, the author acknowledges that college may not be a worthwhile investment for all, as suggested by a Pew Research survey revealing only 22% of Americans see college as worth the expense. The author feels okay with his son's choice, emphasizing that achieving a successful career doesn't always necessitate a traditional college pathway.
Several decades of rising tuition, high levels of student loan debt, and widespread economic uncertainty have led many Americans to no longer believe that college is always worth the cost.
My wife and I are lucky. Our student loans were manageable, and have been paid off for many years. But not every college graduate feels like their degree was a great investment.
