There is considerable support for the nation that rate of return on investment in higher education is high enough to warrant the financial burden associated with pursuing a college degree . Though the earnings differential between college and high school graduates. According to the census bureau order an adult's working life , high school graduates earn an average of $1.2 million; associate's degree holders earn about 1.6$ million ; and bachelor's degree holders earn $2.1 Million.
These sizable differences in lifetime earning put the cost of college study in realistic perspective. Most students today about 80 per of all students--- enroll either in public four year colleges or public two year colleges. According to U.S Department of education report, think college early , a full time student at a public two-year college pays an average of $10, 655 per year in tuition or more.for in-state tuition , room and board.
