that one more time? So

half of students reported never getting information on earnings in their program of study.

So that's something we really need to tackle.

At California Competes, we're also looking at what is the return on investment of higher education, associate's degrees, bachelor's degrees.

broken down by demographics, by race, by gender, by region, and not surprisingly, we see dramatic differences in, I should say, financial ROI, earnings ROI, based on who the Californian is.

And then the other thing I want to note is we're also releasing a piece later this fall where we went back to comebackers, students who started college, left college, returned, and then finished.

And two years after they finished college, we asked them, was it worth it? And if so, what was worth it? We heard overwhelmingly that the career trajectories, the earnings gains were the thing that most of them said made it worth it.

Are there partnerships between workforce and education? Are there models of the future that already exist in other places that could be implemented here? A question for anybody.
