if **half** of graduates are making less than $54k/yr as of 6yrs after graduation, i'm not sure what the "value" of a college education is. i am pretty sure you could make that much as a good bartende...
@nprofile1q... I imagine that private universities that aren't top of the line are probably big losers in the current situation. Parents might still pay premium to send a child to a top-tier school, but with ROI this poor overall, it just doesn't make sense to send a child to an expensive school that doesn't also carry significant prestige.
