The Value of a College Education
By any measure, a college education is something to be treasured. With a college education you will have better job opportunities, less chance of unemployment, have more opportunities for promotions, lead a happier and healthier life, and earn more money. According to the 2000 Census:
College graduates took home an average of $45,678 per year as compared to the $24, 572 average salary of those who finished only high school.
According to The Employment and Training Administration, a person with a bachelor's degree earns a million dollars more over a lifetime than a worker with only a high school diploma.
