The Value of a College Education
Jan 22, 2017With 43.3 million Americans burdened with a total of $1.3 trillion in student loan debt, high school students thinking about attending college are faced with a daunting decision.
Last fall, we took the show just up the road to De Anza High School in Richmond, California, where a theater full of AP students and their teachers joined John and Ken for a conversation about The Value of a College Education with John Hennessy, who had just stepped down as the 11th president of Stanford University. The students had a ton of questions, but of course not all of them could make it into the radio show itself (which airs Januarry 22 on KALW in San Francisco), so check out some of the extended Q&A that we managed to fit in before the bell rang for lunch.
