Interesting gap between what people say and do about college

I saw this Gallup poll and found it really interesting because it shows people saying one thing but doing another with college. Only 31 percent think a degree is very important now, but the data shows enrollment is still happening. In my experience, a lot of women I know say they're skeptical about four year degrees, but then they look into community college programs or online certificates to move forward in their careers. This matters because it means the conversation is shifting from college being the only path to looking at what education actually gets you where you want to go. What's your take on this? Are you seeing people in your life choosing different routes than traditional college?
