Carlson, Scott. "Is College Worth It? 2 New Reports Say Yes (Mostly)." Chronicles of Higher Education. 60.11 (2013): A25. Web. 1 Feb. 2014. .
Scott Carlson, a talented writer studied English Literature in college and then went on to win first prize for beat reporting from the National Education Writers Association. Not long after in 1999, he joined the Chronicle of Higher Education. While here he wrote a scholarly journal article, “Is College Worth It? 2 New Reports Say Yes (Mostly)” where he discusses the cost and value of a college degree.
Carlson’s article explores different studies that agree that college is indeed worth the investment. He claims that the demand for a college degree in the workforce is increasing and that there is a significant difference in wages for a person with a degree and a person without a degree. He also covers the debate that pursuing a college degree can be risky because in some places the income of people with a degree does not keep up with the increasing costs of living.
I found this article by typing in key words such as “college degree” and “worth” into Academic Search Complete. This article is going to help me in writing my final paper because it is directly discussing the topic I chose.
