Education Pays

Abstract

Enrollment in higher education has been on the decline for nearly a decade. Some factors contributing to this decline are the rising tuition cost, the amount of student loans debt, political meddling, public opinion, and the emerging post-secondary alternative pathways to career options. Alternative pathways include bootcamps, apprenticeship programs, in-house certifications by some employers, or trade school. The cost or investment in these alternative pathways appears to be less in both time and money compared to investment in higher education.
