  • College enrollment numbers in the U.S. are still on the decline, according to the National Student Clearinghouse. The group found that there are little more than 1 million fewer undergraduate students in 2022 compared with 2019 and a nearly 8% decline in transfers from community colleges to four-year colleges in the last year. Stephanie Marken from Gallup's education division joined Jeff Glor to discuss.

    As a HS Chemistry teacher, I see most of my students would prefer learning a trade rather than something they will never use. Dangling financially ruinous promises in front of students without offering true alternatives is cruel. Trade unions should step up with apprenticeship programs, and community colleges must do a better job at providing real trade skills programs. Too many young people enter sham/scam private trade ‘colleges’ only to end up in serious debt.

      Well said Vincent! As a teacher myself I’d like to add that we live in a skills based economy. The liberal arts degree isn’t skills based. Young people (middle and older aged career changers) are realizing companies hire based on skills ability. Can the English degree holder weld those pipes together? Can the poli sci degree holder service a HVAC unit and replace a compressor?
      I’m not disparaging any degree but when push comes to shove the ones with ‘real skills’ always make more money and have better career opportunities. Kudos to you.

      I also think people and universities are not what they were in the 1950's. The rich people function has left the university when government loans/subsidy became the primary funding source. Rich people start businesses, provide scholarships, fund endowments, hire recent graduates, create a networking environment. This is gone from most universities. Now its about how can the university get money from the government to pay for students rather than wealthy alumni. College is for talented people (actors, musicians, artists, athletes, ect), academically gifted, people looking to become professionals (doctors, lawyers, ect), and wealthy. Everyone else needs to be kept out. I'd say college is good for about 20 percent of the population. The rest are wasting time. Community college and trade school/vocational school is for people trying to gain entry into middle class, university is for people trying to gain access into elite class (and only about 10 percent will succeed - doctor, lawyer, business owner, architect).

Now, it's close to 70 schools in the US so there are a lot more competition among new dentists. And the total debt can be more than $500K for private schools. I heard other professional schools are like that too. So, it's definitely tougher for young graduates.

      Every generation has its perspective as my parents' generation saw college as a guaranteed success to life vs our generation seeing trade school as a pathway to more lucrative careers.
      The problem is people jump into these trends without properly assessing other factors. Trade schools maybe popular and lucrative now, but theres no guarantee it will remain the same 10 years down the line when many go to trade school instead of college. Keep in mind that colleges were once perceived the same way as trade schools are now.

At the time, obtaining the degree was too difficult despite knowing if I was to complete the degree I’d be set financially and job security-wise. Now, I’m re-enrolling into community college with a focus on a degree that isn’t so demanding, while holding the likelihood of obtaining just as an in-demand job. They make these programs extremely difficult to complete and wonder why student opt out of completion.

    Ok I’ll explain my story: I graduated college almost five years ago. I majored in Psychology. At the time that was what I wanted to do. Then my interests started to change. When I started looking for a job, all of these jobs required 2-5 years of experience. It was very difficult to find an entry level job. Now that I’ve been out of college for a while, my interests have changed and so have my views about colleges. If I can give anyone advice, I would say go to a trade school or community college. Go for something that is high in demand. Don’t get me wrong, I know people have 4 year degrees with jobs now which is great. However, this isn’t the case for everyone. I have more opinions about bachelors degrees and colleges in general but I’m going to keep these to myself.

    Well lets see: College student's pay more tuition towards campus amenities, sports complexes, and administrative fee than for the actual education. Which matches a desire for college campus's to play "keeping up with the Jones's". At the same time there has been deeply inadequate regulation of the lending sector who gets away with letting mere 18 year old's take out $50-100K in debts. At the same time, student loans are somehow immune to bankruptcy which only incentivizes lenders to loan more as they don't need to weight the risk of a teenager's likelihood to repay that debt (they know it will follow them), which also incentivizes colleges to inflate tuition.
    At the same time, the mid-20th century wisdom that you need a degree to really succeed, no longer holds true. What you need is a specialization in a skill others will pay for. That's not always a degree and more often, it's a trade. And unless you're in a STEM field, how many graduates actually use their education? Make that return on investment even more meaningless...
    Because the costs have skyrocketed over the past two generations, it's no longer a good economic decision for a wide swath of young adults.
    Want that to change? Reign in costs, regulate lenders, allow for bankruptcy, and cut non-education bloat on campus. You know, actually make it economically viable again

    An 18-year-old graduates high school and enters a trades program. In one year he is an aprentice and making 40k to 50k. By the end of four years he's earned - with raises - nearly 300k by the time he's 22 years old. An 18-year-old going to college for a liberal arts, degree, or any BA degree that is not a valuable trade...then finds that he/she needs a masters to get a job. Two years later and another 100k in debt, that person is 24 years old and 200k in debt. College is not worth it, if you are not going for a professional trade, such as lawyer or doctor. There are even inexpensive trade, certificate and two-year programs for nursing and business. Forget college and build a career -not debt.

Students are forced to take liberal arts classes that don’t translate into a paying career before getting to take the classes that actually interest them or translate into money. Colleges have become indoctrination centers not education centers. If many of those employed by colleges had to do real work or justify their existence they would fail. Get rid of the classes that are a joke or at least don’t force students to have to take them and lower the costs and you’ll see the decline slow down.

    Witnessing the displacement of traditional higher education (degree-issuing institutional bodies) with alternative education options in our lifetime is an excitement to behold! Consider improvements in low-cost/free online education such as the quality/variety of materials, instructors, sources and teaching methodologies. Now throw in improvements in technology (AI, 3D printing, robotics) and a more globalized network of independent learners.
    Fewer and fewer people will need to rely on universities to provide content, material and collaborators if they already have these at their fingertips from anywhere and at a small fraction of the cost. Unless the quality of a university education is somehow improving at a rate beyond its alternatives, outside of highly specialized skillsets the monetary value of university degrees will continue to decline as alternative options continue to expand and improve. Even research will be more publicly available at the cutting edge level - something once exclusive in large part to academia and organizations with deep pockets.
    Good for the public, not necessarily good for the gatekeepers 😁

    My advise to young Americans learn German or another European language and get into school in a country that wants a highly educated and skilled population.
    The United States does not want your talent or skills.
    And as the USA declines politicians will simply blame other countries that are advancing and make war threats against them.
    Move to a nation that has enlightenment values not the idiocracy threat is the USA.

    specialties nor what the entry jobs paid salaries compared with the average 4 years student loans. Sad.

    The primary reason for the rising tuition is the explosion of administrators and their support staff. Most colleges now employ far more non-faculty employees than faculty. The faculty who are hired to teach undergraduates are overwhelmingly (75%) adjunct who are paid below the poverty line with few or no benefits and no job security. The tenure track faculty tend to specialize in research, much of which no one reads. The readership on social science/humanities articles is on average just over four readers per article and in the natural sciences that figure is below one reader per article. While some research is useful and beneficial, the vast majority is simply busy work for tenure-track faculty.
    Then we have the move away from a traditional curriculum in the social sciences and humanities with an emphasis on preserving the intellectual traditions of the West and training students in critical thinking so that they can reason for themselves to the truth to radical Neo-Marxist indoctrination that denies the value of Western Civilization, evidence and reason and even the truth with a capital T.

    If female enrollment was declining it would be the main story. Male enrollment declining...well that's no big deal. That answers why male, including Black male, enrollment is down...they're dropping out. The main reason males get a degree is to be a better provider but the marriage option, now even a relationship option, in the US is clearly not a good path for men. So, no need for a degree. Males are taking jobs that don't require a degree, investing, saving money so they can retire early, move to Brazil or SE Asia and then find a good wife and have his kids there in retirement. Offshoring marriage is increasing and a popular option for many men.
    Females on the other hand are getting advanced degrees, working their tails off, paying off massive college loans and enjoying their independent life.
    Everybody wins!

    It took me 7 years to go part-time to get my degree. The cost is really room and board, I was able to work and go to school. I went to a state university and majored in IT. I was bio-med and worked on medical devices for a blood bank. I would suggest if you want to get a degree that you couple it with a technology. For example, if you are into art, you might want to get a degree in graphics design and do your artwork on the side. Back in the beginning of the 20th century, colleges were created to produce well-rounded people, and schools after high school were only for the rich or ultra smart people. With the increase in tuition, you need an ROI when thinking about college. You will be drowning in debt if you do not think about this.

My college lied to me saying they were known all over the country. When applying 90% of the firms had never even heard of my school. I now have 30k in student loans and driving for uber. It was fun, I made great memories and friends but was it worth the cost? Absolutely not. My advice for young people is to learn a trade.

Cutting funds to states in order to fill rich/wealthy men's pockets increased costs to every state tax and agencies due to the legal demand to maintain federally mandated programs like MEDICAID, etal. Then he allowed those corporations he enriched to move their operations to China in leveraged buyouts. Men like Mike Milkin made $500+millions/yr sending jobs overseas leaving only service industry jobs that pay minimum wages. People like me, who took two degrees were left holding the bag. I don't know why 15mil are students when there won't be but 4mil jobs for college degrees when they graduate.
