What can my degree do for me?• The average holder of a bachelor's degree earns

about $51,000 a year• Those who go on to earn MBAs, law degrees, or

other professional degrees earn about $100,000 a year

• The quality of the jobs college graduates get is far better, for example. College graduates are more likely to get jobs with health insurance. And it is easier for them to find and hold jobs

• College graduates are healthier, contribute more to their communities, and raise kids who are better prepared academically
