Study Finds That College Grads Greatly Overestimate Value of Degree - a podcast by Radio.com

In today’s third and final hour, Dom welcomes Lehigh County Controller Mark Pinsley on to the Dom Giordano Program to hear his side on a proposition made by Lehigh County DA Jim Martin regarding voters submitting multiple ballots in the County, a topic Martin joined us to talk about yesterday. Martin announced that he wouldn’t pursue charges for voters caught on video dropping multiple ballots into drop boxes, but would install precautions moving forward to prevent it from happening again, including assigning plain-clothes officers to monitor polling places to ensure the law isn’t broken again. Pinsley takes umbrage with the suggestion as the Controller, explaining that this would be a complete misuse of funds to pay officers to do this. Pinsley explains why he’s pushed back against the initiative by the District Attorney, calling into question biases at play here, and explains that he would like to strengthen elections but thinks that the situation is being blown far out of proportion.Then, Giordano reads a story from CNBC that tells of a study that shows that college graduates overestimate the salaries of entry-level positions by up to $50,000. Giordano asks why these kids are so misguided, expecting six-figure incomes after graduating, with Dan arguing that an entire generation has been force fed lies as to what to expect with a college degree. Dom spends the remainder of the hour discussing the topic, taking calls from listeners offering their opinion on college degrees, with some tradesmen calling in to offer an alternative route.
