The passion for learning is enough to motivate an individual to get a college degree. However, is the effort to get a college degree worth it? You recently came across a quarterly update from the U.S Census Bureau that indicates that college graduates with a bachelor's degree make an annual average of $33,788 more than high school graduates. The update further detailed that college graduates earn about 78.5% more than high school students. Discuss ifa college degree guarantees someone a 78.5% increase in salary over a high school degree? Is this statistic misleading?
