This article talks about wage growth for college only. There's no comparison to high school grad's wage growth or those with graduate degrees. You are jumping to conclusions about the value of a college degree without accounting for alternatives.
Most high school grads won't become programmers. They will work in warehouses, low level healthcare jobs, etc. The wage growth for high school graduates is worse than college graduates. It's a problem with the whole economy, not colleges specifically.
- devwastaken 10y agoIts easy to say that those who go to college make more, which is true, but those who go to college generally have higher goals and will work for years in suffocating living conditions. Not that they knew of that beforehand (gotta leave that out to get that special debt money), but they adapt. I don't think college creates success in programming, its yourself. In fields such as Medical or physical engineering, I completely agree that schools dedicated to that play a significantly bigger part, though.
