High-Degree Show Power

Workers with professional degrees, such as doctors and lawyers, were the only educational group to see their inflation-adjusted earnings increase over the most recent economic expansion, adding to the concern that the economy has benefited higher-earning Americans at the expense of others.

Workers in every other educational group -- including Ph.D.s as well as high school dropouts -- earned less in 2007 than they did in 2000, adjusted for inflation, according to data from the Census Bureau.

Though the financial numbers show decrease, the decrease is still more than one would make if they did not attend college. The bottom line is if you are in, stay in. And if you are thinking of going in, now is the best time to attend.

Do not limit your options. The time is now to apply to the of institution of your choice and prepare to excel and be your best.
