In this week’s video, Curtis Congdon, President of XML Financial Group, talks about college and whether it is worth it. We look at the historic cost of a college education by institution type, adjusted for inflation, since the 1970's, and discuss recent downward pricing pressure due to decreased male enrollment. We also examine the economic benefits of education, including average annual earnings and the unemployment rate by degree type. Lastly, we look at what you study in college and why it matters as it pertains to median annual earnings.
