The rate for Series I savings bonds, also known as I bonds, could drop below 5% in May, experts predict. This would be less than the current 5.27% rate for bonds purchased before May 1st but still higher than the 4.3% offered for bonds bought between May 1st and October 31st. Despite the expected decline, experts still consider I bonds a good investment, especially for long-term savers.

So, while a college degree is generally worthwhile, the return on investment varies depending on your chosen major.
