This is what we have been saying for years! Students leave home for college as old children, not young adults. Children aren’t ready to make these kinds of decisions and parents are paying for the costs of delayed maturity. But students in our program are taught HOW to learn and study, HOW to manage time – what a difference that makes! I am so blessed to see that we are not the only ones noticing the gaps between aptitude and readiness! Thanks for compiling these stats!

As I recall from 50 years ago the tuition was about $310 per semester for a total of $2500 plus books. Was it worth it, I would say yes.
Now inflation is about 10X the prices then so in comparison that would be $25,000 now.
Since college is pushed so much today the prices go up because of the greater demand.
What is frustrating to me (but not listed on this infographic) is the number of students who spend upwards to hundreds of thousands of dollars to get their degree, only to do something completely different for their career.
