Higher Education: Is It Worth It?

Crossing Party Lines

Location: Online

Every year, millions of Americans participate in education beyond high school. Whether it’s with the goal of learning a trade, broadening their minds, working towards a degree, or acquiring new career skills, Americans continue to seek out opportunities to better themselves.

But with tuition increasing year over year, student loan debt in the trillions, and companies increasingly lowering education requirements in order to attract more workers, many are asking themselves, is college worth it?

We want to know what you think. Join us as we ask questions such as:

  • What is the purpose of higher education?
  • What do you think our current system should prioritize?
  • How should it be funded?

Join the Crossing Party Lines discussion and have a voice in our Nation’s Conversation! People of all views are welcomed, appreciated, and heard.

Want to have a say in the topics we offer? You can cast your vote in our weekly poll on the Crossing Party Lines Community site. (https://crossingpartylines.net/future-topics)

Please do your best to arrive at the beginning of the meeting – once we are in breakout rooms and the conversations have started, the meeting doors close to new arrivals. The breakout rooms open (and the doors close) approximately 15 minutes after the hour.
