"Is A College Degree Still Worth It? Study Says Yes" by Joseph Pisani summarized

In his paper "Is A College Degree Still Worth It? Study Says Yes," Joseph Pisani (2014) states the difference between the amount of money a person acquires from getting a Bachelors or Associates degree to that of a person with a high-school diploma. A person with a Bachelor degree can expect more money than a person with just a high-school diploma; even though the job only requires a high-school diploma the person who has a higher degree is expected to get more money because they are seen with higher intellectual. People with a Bachelor degree acquire an average of $1.2 million more money than a person with a diploma. The dept and challenges of going 4 years to college will eventually pay off since there is a higher possibility of earning more money than people who decide not to go to college. The fact that even people with an Associates degree earn $325,000 more than a person with a high-school diploma says a lot about how much a college degree is important.
