Getting ready for a college education requires a lot of time, effort, and careful planning by you and your parents. But college also provides information and skills that you will use for the rest of your life to help you succeed in whatever you do. Stayi ng in school and going to college will help you:
- Get a better job. More and more jobs require education beyond high school. With a college education, you'll have more jobs from which to choose.
- Earn more money. A person who goes to college usually earns more than a person who doesn't.
On average, over a lifetime, someone who spends two years in college earns $250,000 more than someone who doesn't--that's right--a quarter of a million dollars more over a lifetime.
- Get a good start in life. College also trains you to express your thoughts clearly, make informed decisions, and use technology—all useful skills on and off the job and for life.
