College is an investment. There are up-front commitments and
costs (such as years of study, tuition, books, fees, etc.) but
long-term rewards for this investment. Studies indicate that college
graduates enjoy significantly higher earnings over their lifetimes
than do non-graduates.
Additionally, college graduates experience many other
everyday life benefits, ranging from greater health insurance
coverage and better housing to longer life expectancy and greater
participation in leisure activities. From almost any perspective,
college is one of the best investments a person can make in his or
her future. (Source: Postsecondary Educational Opportunity, Number
