Summary
A new survey reveals that a third of Brits now believe college isn’t worth the cost or time—up from just 15% two decades ago. Confidence in college payoffs has plummeted too, with fewer people convinced grads fare better long-term. Job market saturation, crushing student debt, and rising interest rates are fueling skepticism—even among graduates who paid top tuition. Many grads are now unemployed or on benefits, sparking serious questions about the future of higher education and its impact on the economy.
