Is College Worth It?

That is the title of a just released book by William Bennett.  Timely.  The book review in the Wall Street Journal is particularly good with respect to the provision of data...

1.  The cost of a college degree has, since 1990, risen four times the rate of inflation.
2.  Pay for college grads has fallen 5% since 2007.
3.  Nearly half of all grads work at jobs that do not require a college degree.

Read the whole review.

I particularly liked that Bennett has addressed the ballooning administrative costs associated with college.  From 1993 to 2007, per-student administrative costs leapt more than 61%.
