| Why do you believe that without a college degree people wouldn't be a middle considered middle class? |
|
 | Although the income received after completing a bachelor’s degree is more than one based on a high school diploma it depends on your family’s income. | |
|
| College graduates make significantly more money over their lifetimes than those with only a high school education. | |

|
| What about for those with an income above 185 percent, how much more do they earn? |
|
| College graduates from families with incomes above 185 percent of the FPL earned 162 percent more over their careers (between the ages of 25 and 62) than those with just a high school diploma. | |
|
| They find that 14 percent of people with a high school diploma make at least as much as those with a bachelor’s degree make more than those with a professional degree. We all think about the income that we will receive once we get our degrees but there are also other benefits from college that Sawhill and I think you guys forget about sometimes. | |

|
| what are some benefits of furthering education? |
|
| I haven’t done my research on the benefits of schooling I only have done my research on the earnings based on a family’s income. | |
|
| Benefits of furthering education consist of the student’s overall well-being by affecting things like job satisfaction, health, marriage, parenting, trust, and social interaction. Additionally, there are social benefits to education, such as reduced crime rates and higher political participation. | |
