Can you provide the link again? That one is flakey. I'd like to examine the survey.

I could see that if your argument had to do with the crippling debt that it leaves most college graduates with but I suspect these results tie more to the perception that kids are going off to college and gettin' a buncha librul ideas in them heads, SJW's, Antifa, etc.

Among Republicans, nearly half of those with family incomes of less than $30,000 (46%) say colleges and universities have a positive effect, compared with only about a third (32%) of those with higher incomes.

Some of the sharpest people I know are drop outs who started their own business.

im sure that's true. and some of the dumbest people i know are drop outs

but when you look at the big picture, average salaries go like this

professional degrees > doctoral degrees > masters degrees > bachelors degrees > associate degrees > high school diplomas > no high school diplomas

that's not to say there are no poor people with professional degrees or no rich people that dropped out of high school. just pointing out the big picture instead of anecdotes

I don't know about negative impact but I'd think someone that gets a degree in history and doesn't teach probably has at best a neutral impact on society.

Plus college debt
