Going to college still pays off

Going to college still pays off 

This report from the Pew Research Center explores the current value of going to college. Findings are based on a nationally representative Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 630 young adults aged 25-32. The survey captured the views of today's adults toward their education, their job, and their experiences in the workforce. To measure how the economic outcomes of young adults compare with those of other generations at a comparable age, the Pew Research Center analyzed economic data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

According to the report, on virtually every measure of economic well-being and career attainment -- from personal earnings to job satisfaction to the share employed full time -- young college graduates are outperforming their peers with less education. In addition, when today's young adults are compared with previous generations, the disparity in economic outcomes between college graduates and those with a high school diploma or less formal schooling has never been greater in the modern era.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
