[quote=Anonymous]It is no guarantee, and there will always be individual cases where someone's degree was a waste, huge debt load, etc. but statistically there is no greater predictor of increased income than having a degree. Most jobs that make 30K or more per year require a degree, and if they don't require one, they use a degree as a weeding out tool. 30K isn't much, but it is certainly more than minimum wage. When you look at lifetime earnings, the picture gets much more dramatic. People always talk about what degrees are wastes, but even if you look at "useless" degrees like communications or liberal arts (as opposed to engineering), as an aggregate, college educated students are doing better than people without college educations in the economy.[/quote]
