A graduate with a four-year degree will make nearly a million dollars more than a non-graduate over their lifetime. That gap has narrowed — in part due to growth in the returns to skilled trades – but it remains clear and massive.
Earning a post-high school degree, whether an associate’s or a bachelor’s degree, is the single most common determinant in moving someone from low income to middle class.
Even if a graduate’s first job is suboptimal, they hold an advantage over others to secure the better, next job when it opens.
AI now has injected an additional, powerful answer.
A quality college degree provides an enormous ROI — return on investment — and makes graduates AI-proof.
