College Pays Off

So college costs more these days, as I noted recently. So what? At least it pays off.
Well, it does if you believe the U.S. Census Bureau, which, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education, has just "provided renewed evidence of the economic benefits that accrue to people with college degrees."
In its report, "Educational Attainment in the United States: 2005," we see that people with bachelor's degrees earn an annual average of $51,554, while high-school graduates with no college earn $28,645. high school dropouts earn about $19,000 a year.
So go. And stay.
