This is a question more Americans are asking as college costs continue rising and the job market remains weak.According to College Board, a private company, attending a 4-year college in the USA can cost more than $40,000 a year. Many college people are drowning in student debt, They had to borrow money to finance their education.A recent study from the Hamilton Project suggests that a college education is worth it, at least in the USA. The study found someone with a 4-year college education earns two times as much as a high school graduate over a lifetime, And for nearly all study programs, an individual with a 4-year bachelor s degree earns even more than someone with a 2-year degree.But not all college majors have a guarantee of good salaries. For example, a chemical engineer can expect to earn double the earnings of a social worker over a lifetime. On average, a finance graduate makes more than a nurse or medical aide while the nurse makes more than a primary school teacherGenerally. college majors that require skill in mathematics have high lifetime earnings. Graduates in computer science, engineering. and physics have the highest wages. Majors that involve teaching children or counseling have the lowest pay.The study did not explore the earnings of people with masters degrees or doctorates.The Hamilton Project noted that future earnings should not be the only reason for choosing a college major. It says, "Personal enjoyment, engaging in meaningful work and filling a social need should also enter into a student s decision-making.Study organizers hope the report will help students make better decisions about higher education. In their words. "College degrees may not ensure a higher income, but hey come closer than just about any otherinvestment one can make32.
