2014 Average Weekly Salary
Recently I overheard two teenagers discussing the benefits of a college education. One teenager stated that if he wanted to get a good job he has to go to college. He further stated that even after completing college he still has to go to school for his Master's degree if he wanted to make "great" money. The other teenager seemed puzzled but agreed. With all the debate about student loans and if education is worth it, I believe we still need to remember the value of an education and what we give up if we don't pursue higher education.
