When I started Collegewise thirteen years ago, nobody ever asked me if attending college was really worth the money. But with the rising costs and mounting student debt, I meet a lot of students and parents today who are smartly asking just how much a college education is worth, and what they can expect to get in return. The Freakonomics guys ask (and try to answer) those questions in this podcast.
