COVER STORY: Is a college degree worth it?
Student debt has become a national crisis, with 43 million Americans carrying more than $1.7 trillion in debt. With some questioning the value of a college degree, efforts are being made to eliminate college from many corporations’ job requirements, while promoting skills training for “new-collar jobs.” Correspondent David Pogue talks with Wharton School of Business professor Peter Cappelli; Ken Frazier and Ginni Rometty of the OneTen Coalition; and with young people taking different approaches to higher education and the workforce.

HUMOR: Garrison Keillor talks about #MeToo and a return to Lake Wobegon
Writer Garrison Keillor is perhaps best known as the force behind the wildly-popular radio program, “A Prairie Home Companion.” But after retiring from the show, Keillor was accused of sexual misconduct, causing Minnesota Public Radio, the show’s distributor, to sever ties. They have since settled the matter and signed a confidentiality agreement. But Keillor has never stopped writing, and is now back on the road entertaining his audience. Keillor talks with correspondent Anthony Mason about the allegations of inappropriate behavior, aging, and his new books: “Serenity at 70, Gaiety at 80,” and his latest collection of tales from Lake Wobegon, “Boom Town.”
