The cost of a college education is exploding at a rate more than double that of overall inflation.
At the same time, college is becoming both more important for a young person trying to gain a foothold in the American economy – and more expensive.
A report published in June 2016 by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce showed that college educated workers are in far higher demand than they were just a couple of decades ago.
What’s causing this exponential growth in the tuition and fees a college student must bear? It’s simple. More and more people are placing a greater value on the benefits of a higher education.
