Is Higher Education Worth the Price?

College is a fundamental growing experience for many young people and people looking to advance further in their passions and set their career. However, with the increasing costs of higher education as well as many majors being considered "useless", students are questioning whether college is even worth it.
Many believe that the problem of prices and learning at college can be fixed with a better allocation of funds, so that they are not so focused on research/postgraduate studies at schools primarily for undergrads, because "postgraduate studies have a place", written in "Are
Colleges Worth the Price of Admission?" by Andrew
Hacker and Claudia Dreifus, who also called for the end
of tenure and exploitation of adjuncts, as well as for
professors to be held more accountable for their teaching.

There are many arguments to this, as some believe that college is mainly for high academic and rigorous careers and others should just go to vocational school. However, many believe that the value of a college degree, even a liberal arts degree (which has many times been dismissed as an unemployable degree and silly thing to waster college on), has provided students with great skills and knowledge, that can be applied to a wide array of jobs and markets.
