Does a college education really pay off when it comes to earning the salary that you want and...
deserve?
Studies have shown that earnings tend to rise with the level of education so a college grad will earn more than someone with high school over their earnings lifetime. However, I imagine if you have a talent and apply yourself you can still earn good money. There are many examples of people without a college education who have started companies and become millionaires.
College education is the platform where you start your performance, the higher it is the more the visibility. This is not the only critereia to earning a fat salary..other skills that you like your performance on the job, as a team contributor, your achievement of set goals etc have more weightage.
