When it comes to getting your money’s worth, a four-year college degree has long been considered a smart investment. But data shows some Americans looking to put themselves on the pathway to success are looking elsewhere to start their careers.
The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center reports that two-year community colleges with a focus on vocational education saw a 16% uptick in enrollment in fall 2023.
TV personality Mike Rowe attributes this shift to people becoming more aware of the financial aspects of education.
“People are starting to pay attention,” the host of “Dirty Jobs” said in an interview with Fox Business’ Stuart Varney.
Rowe argues there needs to be a reevaluation of the notion that a four-year degree is the best choice for everyone, labeling it as “the most expensive path.”
