Is College Worth It? By David Leonhardt
After graduating from High School, students are encouraged to keep pursuing education at colleges, whether at community colleges, state universities, or universities. Even if a student wishes to go to college, some of the families can’t afford for it. Also, colleges are difficult to get in for the past years. It is best to have a better understanding of college before attending one. In an article, Is College Worth it? by David Leonhardt, he discussed about why college is worth it. David Leonhardt stated that “...Yes, college is worth it, and it’s not even close. For all the struggles that many young college graduates face, a four-year degree has probably ever been more valuable.” From encountering people with a four-year degree and without
a degree, college is worth it. From what I’ve seen, the people without a degree have a difficulty finding a job than people with a degree. Based on statistics, David Leonhardt announced that “Americans with four-year college degrees made 98 percent more an hour on average in 2013 than people without a degree.” Even if the people without a degree have a job, it have a lower wage than people with a degree. In a long run, a four-year degree is better than having none because it have a higher chance of getting a better job with better wage.
