Higher education professionals are reporting feeling overworked and underpaid with no opportunities for advancement as colleges and universities “staff up.” In a recent open-ended survey of over 150 “college workers,” respondents expressed “frustration at the lack of clear career ladders, bitterness at being passed over for jobs, and bewilderment at seeing those on the outside, often with less education, finding more financial success,” according to The Chronicle of Higher Education… https://lnkd.in/gGiWFqyz

Here is where a college education matters. "a typical college graduate earned a median wage premium of more than $30,000, or almost 75 percent more than those who had completed just high school, a 2029 New York Fed analysis found." What you learn is not as important as how you learn. A college degree shows that you can complete assignments, across a body of disciplines, on time. That matters to employers. Fact. #college #collegeeducation #collegematters #findyourway

In our current paradigm shift highlighting the value of non-degree credentials and H3 careers requiring less than a bachelor's degree, we can't make general claims and assumptions regarding ROI nor swing the pendulum completely away from promoting bachelor's and advanced degrees. Our education and workforce ecosystem is complex and not a dichotomy of degree versus non-degree. We need workers across all levels of education and training, and potential earnings are based on multiple factors. #ndc #workforcedevelopment #highereducation #careerdevelopment #education #h3 Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce "16% of Workers with High School Diplomas and 28% with Associate’s Degrees Earn More Than Half of Workers With a Bachelor’s Degree, Georgetown University Report Says.

As a former teacher working in the education sector (and thereby required to have a college degree), we can be staunchly attached to this idea that the college pathway is the only pathway. The truth is, it's not. The postsecondary landscape has shifted dramatically in the past few decades both in terms of cost and options available. And, no matter which way you slice it, the "the sheer expense of attending college has made attaining a bachelor’s degree 'generally more difficult for people from traditionally marginalized groups and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds.'" We can argue all day long about the value of college, but the fact is that many Americans just aren't willing to roll the dice on a risky investment. It's still our responsibility to make sure ALL students have the information, skills and mindsets to access and succeed in college if they choose it, but until we see significant, widespread changes in the higher education, we have to stay tuned to the different pathways available and support our students in navigating them. It's nice to see government officials and large companies shifting policies to remove bachelor degree requirements and center talent that are STARs (skilled through alternative routes) so that there are less barriers to career advancement. This is a necessary response to an inequitable higher education system. What do you think of this shift? What are some similar policies and practices you've seen to help reduce barriers to upward mobility and successful careers?
