$$$ --- What We Actually Care About --- $$$


  • The average high school graduate will earn approximately 1.3 million dollars in their lifetime
  • Compared to someone with a Bachelors that grosses nearly 2.3 million on average
  • Even a Associates degree holder, after only 2 years of college, will make 15 thousand dollars or more then a high school diploma recipient




Importance of an Education


  • Achieving a college degree will increase someone’s marketability as a professional.
  • Many employers will soon require that their workforce has additional education.
  • During economic downturns, the likelihood of a college graduate with a degree of losing a job next to a high school graduate is decidedly improbable.
  • College changes people in that they transpire to be “more productive” as a result of continued education.
