I wrote a piece for @TheAtlantic about the growing perception that college is no longer worth it.
It's important for people to know that the value of a BA increases with work experience, peaking at ages 45-55.
Tuition (and loans) must be repaid long before that. College seems like a bad deal initially and tuition is too high. Despite all that, it's often worth it in the long run.

Good morning #EconTwitter!
Do you want to learn how to code #econometrics and #statistics in 𝐏𝐇𝐘𝐓𝐎𝐍?
Then, you should check out these great resources by Kevin Sheppard (@OxfordEconomics)!
They include: a book, data, a full course and further stuff. Just AMAZING!
Desde el momento 0 tienen una ventana de al menos 3 años para solventar el tema del recaudo (desarrollo tecnológico, convenios y pilotaje de la herramienta). Ojalá sea la apuesta del presente para promover el acceso a Educación Superior.
Interesante @ICETEX! Nueva política para compartir el riesgo de la deuda entre universidades y estudiantes. Gran oportunidad para usar la nueva política de Financiación Contingente al Ingreso con 0% de interés real. @MauroToroO@agaviriau@Mineducacion 🧵📚 Algunos Comentarios 🔜
Conclusión
@ICETEX debe migrar a una política total de pagos contingente al ingreso. Aprovechar el riesgo compartido con las universidades y hacer una colocación masiva de FCIs en 2023-1. No más crédito de cuotas fijas.
Great privilege to learn from these terrific scholars who shaped the way we understand higher education financing nowadays. Thanks for your immense contribution to the world 📚 #TheDearingReport25years@ResearchCGHE@brucech9994 @lorrainedearden https://t.co/nMPBuiCnEh
#EconTwitter: what micro datasets on individuals/households are easily accessible for students to work with, e.g., for a Master Thesis? It's ok if they have to apply/register, but they are not typically employed at our chair, nor can we cover costs for data access. #followerpower
🔜 Ed Sup: Alta empleabilidad de los graduados. Al año siguiente al grado, 8/10 se encuentran laborando en el sector formal. Reto grande ⬆️ la tasa de tránsito a superior (40%) y reto gigantesco ⬆️ la población joven con Ed Sup en 🇨🇴 (~30%) Necesitamos + Acceso con Graduación!
Gran iniciativa del @ICFEScol y @Mineducacion: Observatorio de Trayectorias Educativas. Recurso vital para la política educativa del país: Transito entre niveles educativos, repitencia, deserción, logro educativo, empleabilidad… https://t.co/BXny2YlDrN #SeminarioICFES
