The American belief in 'college for all,' as articulated by Douglas Belkin in the WSJ, is collapsing under the weight of student debt, diminishing return on investment, and the frustration of 40 million college dropouts. The value of a college education is being questioned due to underemployment among degree-holders and political intolerance on campuses. The New York Fed, as reported by MSN, indicates that financial stress has risen, with low-income borrowers increasingly missing payments on auto loans and credit cards. New research shows that more than half of Americans who’ve failed to pay student-loan bills since the October restart did so because the payments were unaffordable. In light of these financial pressures, fewer students are enrolling in college, questioning the return on investment, regardless of loan forgiveness possibilities.
