There’s a debate among economists about why a college degree is worth so much. That the credential is valuable is not in doubt. According to the Pew Research Center, college graduates earn about $17,500 more annually than high school grads.


False logic from paragraph one.

If it were the fashion for highly intelligent and hardworking people to have a third eye tattooed on their foreheads, it doesn’t mean the tattoos deserve credit for the fact that these people have much higher earnings, nor that average people can improve their life in the ling run by getting a tattoo (though some might want to, just to defraud employers and business contacts into thinking that they are smart or hard working.)

It is fun to see liberals doing gymnastics to attribute to the college what is more correctly attributed to the individuals.
