Big shifts in higher education: 'Young people don't feel prepared to fund college'

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

New research from Junior Achievement and Citizens Bank that shows young people are worried about their financial futures, specifically paying for college. More than two-thirds of those surveyed said that rising higher education costs have affected their plans for what to do after high school, more than a quarter say they are now only considering state schools, and about one in ten say they are looking at a two-year degree as opposed to a four-year degree. We wanted to dig into what these findings mean, so we caught up with Stephanie Gambone, President & CEO of Junior Achievement of Southeastern Pennsylvania.
