The average student loan debt upon graduation is around $30k. But you're twice as likely to find a job as a high school graduate and median incomes for college graduates are $20k higher than high school graduates. College is the best investment you can make.

Those studies prove nothing.
Almost everyone nowadays goes to college.
More than 70% of people who graduate high school go to college.

Let's Person A is valedictorian, gets into Harvard and Person B barely graduated high school and didn't get into any university. Person A is probably more likely to succeed, right? But is it because they went to Harvard and earned a degree? Or is it because Person A has more qualities than lead to success.

Are you telling me if college just stopped existing, that Person A wouldn't end up making more money that Person B per year?

I bet college graduates, Ivy leaguers etc, have way higher IQs on average than people who never went to college.

Did colleges give them their IQ, did they increase their IQ points? No, lmfao.

It's why so many people who drop out of college willingly (not due to work ethic, or bad academic scores) end up successful.

Because it's not the degree that gives these people their value or their abiltiy to earn a high income.
