3. INNOVATIVE EDUCATION: CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS
13. Read the text and find proofs that higher education is valuable nowadays.
The Value of a College Degree
The escalating cost of higher education is causing many to question the value of continuing education beyond high school. Many people wonder whether the high cost of tuition, the opportunity cost of choosing college over full-time employment, and the accumulation of thousands of dollars of debt is, in the long run, worth the investment. The risk is especially large for low- income families who have a difficult timemaking ends meet without the additional burden of college tuition and fees. In order to determine whether higher education is worth the investment, it is useful to examine what is known about the value of higher education and the rates of return on investment to both the individual and to society.
The Economic Value of Higher Education
There is considerable support for the notion that the 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 varies over time, college graduates, on average, earn more than high school graduates. According to the Census Bureau, over 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 about $2. 1 million (Day and Newburger, 2002).
These sizeable differences in lifetime earnings put the costs of college study in realistic perspective. Most students today — about 80 percent of all students — enroll either in public four-year colleges or in public two-year colleges. According to the U. S. Department of Education report. Think College Early, a full-time student at a public four-year college pays an average of $8, 655 for in-state tuition, room, and board (U. S. Department of Education, 2002). A full-time student in a public two-year college pays an average of $1, 359 per year in tuition (U. S. Department of Education, 2002).

These statistics support the contention that, though the cost of higher education is significant, given the earnings disparity that exists between those who earn a bachelor's degree and those who do not, the individual rate of return on investment in higher education is sufficiently high to warrant the cost.
