How It Pays to Learn
(You've heard
this before, right?)
After you’ve collected
a
few
paychecks or earned some extra cash, savor the good feeling of earning money. And
keep
in
mind that
the
more
work
experience
you gain, the more money you’ll be able to make. But experience is only
part of the money picture. Your education is just as important.
Remember, the
more you learn, the more you earn. A high school diploma is worth almost $10,000
more in pay per year over what you'd make by not graduating. And finishing college
more
than
doubles
the worth of your diploma to about $22,000 in earning potential!
Take a look at the “College
Payoff” section again for the amount
of additional income you can earn with each degree.
