A lot of people are asking questions these days about higher education. Is college worth the cost? Is it worth the time and the sacrifice? Can earning your college degree significantly affect the life you live? The simple answer is a resounding yes.
As new data published by the New York Times revealed, “Yes, college is worth it and it’s not even close. For all of the struggles that college graduates face, a four-year degree has probably never been more valuable. The pay gap between graduates and everyone else hit a record high in 2015.”
