And there was some question about the skills even of the students who managed to graduate. Readers are probably familiar with Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa’s (2011) research about the low levels of learning occurring on campuses. If college does not lead to skill gains, it is difficult to argue that attending college will lead to positive economic effects after graduation.Finally, some critics wondered whether the higher wages of college graduates are secure. Richard Vedder, Christopher Denhart, and Jonathan Robe (2013) have reported that 48 percent of employed individuals with bachelor’s degrees are in jobs requiring less schooling—presumably at low wages. Others say that parents would do better to put their college savings into a retirement account for their children. All these arguments appear in a new book by former Department of Education Secretary William Bennett and co-author David Wilezol (2013). They argue that most high school graduates should enroll in occupationally oriented vocational and technical programs and that the number of students attending four-year colleges should shrink by 50 percent.
