Is a college degree worth the cost and effort?

Absolutely! Earning a bachelor’s degree can have many benefits to the individual and society.

Research shows that college graduates on average make $32,000 more annually than someone who does not hold a degree and that they are less likely to be to be unemployed. Graduates are 47% more likely to have health insurance and 72% more likely to have a retirement plan.

College graduates are more likely to be civically engaged and involved in their communities.

These are just a few reasons why higher education is an investment worth making.
