Is College Still Worth It? A National Researcher Weighs In
Is a college degree still worth the cost — and what actually counts as a "good job" in Tennessee's economy today?
Dr. Jeff Strohl, Director of Research at Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce, joins the At Scale podcast to unpack two decades of national data on post-secondary earnings, underemployment, and career mobility. He and hosts Ben Sterling and Tyler Ford talk through what the research really says about the value of a credential, and how Tennessee can better connect college access to long-term career opportunity.
