Just in case you have some doubts, the United States Census Bureau has released data providing the substantial value of college education in the United States. Workers 18 and over with bachelors degrees earns an average of $51,206 a year, while those with a high school diploma earn $27,915. Workers with an advanced degree make an average of $74,602 and those without a high school diploma make an average of $18,734. So you tell me would you like to earn an average of $18,734 or $51,206 and...
