University-educated Americans earn $17,500 more a year than high school grads... and they're more likely to be married.



  • Millennials - those aged 25 to 32 - with a bachelor's degree or more earned an average of $45,500 in 2012 dollars
  • Meanwhile workers with a two-year degree or some college earned $30,000 and high school grads earned just $28,000 on average
  • According to Pew Research Center, young people who graduated college are outperforming their less-educated peers on virtually every economic measure
  • And the gap between the two groups has only grown over time

Other impacts: But the benefits go beyond earnings, as this graph shows

Times are tough: Pew found the cost of not going to college has risen, with millennials who only finished high school faring worse today than their counterparts in earlier generations across nearly every measure

Don't say that around these parts. Apparently going to college is horrible and they are all poor, lol. Talk to Acebb about that, lmao.

Looking like a hermaphrodite probably does not help in the interview process.

In other news, "it DOES pay to play in the NFL!"

No really, you'll make a lot more money if you make it to the NFL...even if you're a 140 pound placekicker. :ohno:

Special Report: College Investment: Does It Pay?

College costs are up, graduate pay is down, and 40 percent of students never get a degree. For many, return on investment is a cruel joke

Any kids out there, take note. If you don't go to college, you'll end up like Sheriff Joe... a grown up loon birther obsessed with a country that he's not even a citizen of. Stay in school kids.

Higher education government subsidies cause high college tuition costs



Government-subsidized loans are hurting college students instead of helping them, according to a new LearnLiberty video.

The Institute for Humane Studies’ website Learnliberty.org released a video last week titled “How Do We Break the Cycle of Higher Tuition and More Debt?” that argues government subsidies for higher education are actually to blame for the $1 trillion national student debt.

In the video, college students voice their frustrations about paying back student debt.

“It’s pretty overwhelming to have all this debt, trying to plan for the future in general,” one student said.

According to American University Professor Daniel Lin, government subsidies, created to help college students with high tuition costs, encourage too many people who can’t afford college to seek out higher education. Forty percent of these college students drop out and two-thirds don’t graduate on time, according to Lin.

The economics professor explains that more students attending college only increases the demand for higher education, causing hikes in college tuition. He suggests training in apprenticeship programs in lieu of a college education.

Learn more about why government subsidies boost college tuition costs in the video below.

Here's a libtard who had the bright idea of getting a Master's Degree in puppetry, then when he couldn't find a job he joined the Occupy Movement.

[h=2]Underemployed Puppeteer Joins Occupy Wall Street[/h] Mike Riggs|Nov. 3, 2011 3:42 pm


The Nation continues to impress with its coverage of Occupy Wall Street in telling the hard-knock story of puppeteer Joe Therrien:
A few years ago, Joe Therrien, a graduate of the NYC Teaching Fellows program, was working as a full-time drama teacher at a public elementary school in New York City. Frustrated by huge class sizes, sparse resources and a disorganized bureaucracy, he set off to the University of Connecticut to get an MFA in his passion—puppetry. Three years and $35,000 in student loans later, he emerged with degree in hand, and because puppeteers aren’t exactly in high demand, he went looking for work at his old school. The intervening years had been brutal to the city’s school budgets—down about 14 percent on average since 2007. A virtual hiring freeze has been in place since 2009 in most subject areas, arts included, and spending on art supplies in elementary schools crashed by 73 percent between 2006 and 2009. So even though Joe’s old principal was excited to have him back, she just couldn’t afford to hire a new full-time teacher. Instead, he’s working at his old school as a full-time “substitute”; he writes his own curriculum, holds regular classes and does everything a normal teacher does. “But sub pay is about 50 percent of a full-time salaried position,” he says, “so I’m working for half as much as I did four years ago, before grad school, and I don’t have health insurance…. It’s the best-paying job I could find.”
Therrien is a regular at Occupy Wall Street, and helped launch the group's Puppet Guild (no dues required, as of yet):
At one of Arts and Culture’s meetings—held adjacent to 60 Wall Street, at a quieter public-private indoor park that’s also the atrium of Deutsche Bank—it dawned on Joe: “I have to build as many giant puppets as I can to help this thing out—people love puppets!” And so Occupy Wall Street’s Puppet Guild, one of about a dozen guilds under the Arts and Culture working group, was born. In the spirit of OWS, Joe works in loose and rolling collaboration with others who share his passion for puppetry or whose projects somehow momentarily coincide with his mission. With the help of a handful of people, he built the twelve-foot Statue of Liberty puppet that had young and old alike flocking to him on October 8 in Washington Square Park. Right now, he’s working with nearly thirty artists to stage Occupy Halloween, when his newest creations, a twelve-foot Wall Street bull and a forty-foot Occupied Brooklyn Bridge inspired by Chinese paper dragons—along with a troupe of dancers playing corporate vampires—will inject a little bit of countercultural messaging into the annual parade of Snookis and and True Blood wannabes strutting down Sixth Avenue.
Somewhat related: The pro-puppet American Recovery and Reinvestment Act doled out $50,000 to the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta; $25,000 to the Sandglass Center for Puppetry and Theater Research in Vermont; and $25,000 to the Spiral Q Puppet Theater in Philadelphia.

And this is why fratfraud's inane talking points of "getting an education" are beyond useless.

You have to actually FIND the right job before you earn a penny. Good luck with that in Obama's basket case economy.

It isn't about "degree vs non-degree"...it's about supply-demand and cost-benefit in the chosen field. I seriously doubt that embittered Occupy idiot and fratfraud sat down and made their decisions rationally.

Also, thanks to the socialist Democrats and Obamacare, you have to seriously wonder how many of our best and brightest are going to want to spend 10 years of their lives in school accumulating over 6 figures in debt just so they can become glorified nurses for Big Government.

Among the many negative consequences of socialized rationed health care are doctor shortages, so we'll start to see an influx of imported third world doctors into the system - lower quality care - like every socialist government-run system in the world.

Aren't you relieved and happy fratfraud's "really, REALLY smart dudes" are in charge?

:puppy:
