A college degree was once seen as essential for career advancement, but Gen Z is challenging this belief. Recent reports indicate that Gen Z is losing confidence in the value of a college education. In fact, only 39% of Gen Z respondents in this survey said advancing their education is important to them.
The reasons behind this change are varied. One major factor is the soaring cost of tuition. In the same survey, 46% of Gen Z participants believed that a college education is simply not worth the cost.
