Dr. Rebecca Good - Is College Worth It?

Americans are increasingly skeptical about the value and cost of college, with most saying they feel the U.S. higher education system is headed in the “wrong direction,” according to a new poll.  Overall, only 36% of adults say they have a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in higher education, according to the report released Monday by Gallup and the Lumina Foundation. That confidence level has declined steadily from 57% in 2015.  Some of the same opinions have been reflected in declining enrollment as colleges contend with the effects of the student debt crisis, concerns about the high cost of tuition and political debates over how they teach about race and other topics.  The dimming view of whether college is worth the time and money cuts across all demographics — including gender, age, political affiliation. Among Republicans, the number of respondents with high confidence in higher education has dropped 36 percentage points over the last decade — far more than it dropped for Democrats or independents. Rebecca is retired after more than three decades in education working as a teacher, campus principal, central office executive director, and school superintendent // Education Expert

Randy Jones - Stock Market

Fears of a U.S. recession were sparked this week as global markets tanked on Monday. Japan's main stock-market index sunk 12.4% yesterday (Monday), while US stock futures were also lower. It’s the biggest fall of Japan’s main index since 1987. US stock markets sunk at the end of last week as investors evaluated disappointing earnings from several major Big Tech companies and a dismal U.S. jobs report. July employment numbers showed weak job creation and the highest unemployment rate since October 2021. Wall Street saw levels not reached since June 2020, with NASDAQ’s futures falling as much as 4% preopen. Randy is a Wealth Management Advisor at First Financial Group.
