College v. Experience

U. S. parents today are about evenly divided on the money value of a college education. So FORTUNE reported last week after sampling public opinion on whether a high-school graduate with four years of working experience or a man just out of college has a better chance to earn a living. One-third voted for high-school graduates, one-third for college men. The rest failed to vote an outright Yes or No.

Business executives, who do most of the hiring, were less impressed than hopeful parents by a college diploma. Some 42% of them favored a high-school graduate, only 29% a college man.
