Kids graduating college are coming into a tough job market. They often have loads of debt. And maybe crashing with mom and dad until their situation improves. All that leads to a fundamental question: “Is a college degree worth it?” Host Ryan Warner talks with CPR education reporter Jenny Brundin about that issue. She also discusses a movement to publish college graduate earnings and a study looking at what happens to students’ grades when their parents pay for college.
