From Forbes: Is An Internship In College More Important Than The Degree Itself?
CEO Brandon Busteed asks: With the value of degrees on the decline and the value of internships soaring, is an internship during college worth more than the degree itself?
Such a question may have seemed crazy a generation ago. But the evidence pointing to it as being a fair one has been building for that long. The decline in higher ed confidence has been linked with doubts about the work readiness of college graduates. These doubts align with concerns about the relative value of a college degree – which pit Americans’ doubts about work readiness against the backdrop of ever rising costs. We’re grappling with a serious debate about the ‘ROI’ – or return on investment – of a college degree. And it has been raging for a while now.
