HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: High schoolers are losing confidence in the benefits of a college degree: study.
The study, ”Continuing to Explore the Exodus from Higher Education,”compares the results of focus groups and a national survey conducted in 2023 to findings from a 2022 Gates Foundation report titled, “Where are the students?.” Researchers found that high schoolers and non-enrolled adults ages 18-30 still associate some benefits with attending college, but those perceived benefits were in decline compared to findings from 2022.
The percentage of non-enrolled adults surveyed who consider reasons to go to college, such as to gain more money or get a better job, as important or very important has also dropped from the year before.
At the same time, however, non-enrolled adults continue to perceive an increasing benefit to other options such as licenses, certificates, and trade schools.
All is proceeding as I have foreseen.

Campuses have a fanaticism problem. Facing it effectively requires leaders to recognize that similar forces are at work today as during earlier episodes of violent activism. A policy of complacency and appeasement has not diminished radicals’ appetite for confrontation or their desire to rewrite the rules.”
Appeasement never does.
