More Americans are attending college today than ever before. And that's generally considered a good thing.
But skyrocketing college tuition at both public and private universities has left a growing number of graduates mired in debt and struggling to find good paying jobs. It's a widening problem that's received an unprecedented degree of attention in the 2016 presidential campaign (among the Democratic contenders, at least).
All of which begs the question: is all that studying and sacrifice really worth the huge financial hit? With pencil in hand, comic journalist Andy Warner explores the issue.
