The Public Policy Institute of California explores whether the benefits of a college degree outweigh the costs.


Although most California parents (71%) want their children to graduate from college with at least a bachelor’s degree, about seven in ten (69%) worry about being able to afford a college education. Sticker shock and an understandable reluctance to take on debt lead many students and parents alike to wonder if college will actually yield higher earnings, better jobs, and a brighter future down the road.


 
 

The #WorthIt campaign highlights the value of higher education and the positive impact it has on individuals and communities, amid rising skepticism about the cost and value of a college degree. This coordinated campaign offers a strong and unified message: higher education transforms lives, strengthens communities, and fuels economic mobility.
