{"product_id":"is-college-a-lousy-investment-1","title":"Is College a Lousy Investment?","description":"Is College a Lousy Investment?: Negotiating the Hidden Cost of Higher Education discusses many of the economic misconceptions about earning a college degree. While it is widely believed that attending college guarantees wealth and success, students, concerned parents, and higher education professionals have neglected calculating the full-range of short-term and long-terms costs. Our work illustrates how the promotion of education merely as a commodity come at a high price for the individual and society. We argue how the idea of ‘investment’ can be expanded from a short-sighted view to engage a broader, more holistic rationale for higher education from which students can expect a full return on investment.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54262149153112,"sku":"9781475833973","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781475833973.jpg?v=1769713241","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/is-college-a-lousy-investment-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
