The High Cost Of Not Going To College
According to Sacramento-based Magazine Comstock's, the lack of a college education is costly to the average Californian.
Last year in California, the average income for a high school graduate was $27,000. That's compared to $56,000 for a bachelor's degree, according to the California Postsecondary Education Commission.Wow! College graduates make more than twice as much as non-college graduates with a high school degree. My son Nathan informed me last night that the State of California is planning to lower the education budget by more than $4 billion. Based on this statistic it seems the Government should raise the buget. Doesn't it stand to reason the more college graduates the state develops and employs, the higher the tax revenue will be?
What is the State of California thinking? Duh!!!!
Once again, the Government is taking a short-sighted approach to spending on education.
The lack of education is the root of most evil. When will our politicians realize this and set a proper course for our educational system?
