College pays off. Financially, sure, but also in ways that are impossible to measure.

高等教育 回报丰厚，经济回报显而易见，但还有一些难以衡量的回报。

From the earliest days of our country, we have seen education as the foundation for democracy

and citizenship, for social mobility and national prosperity. Higher education opens minds and

opens

doors.

Yet

high

school

students

and

families

are

increasingly

questioning

its

value.

Is

investing in a college or university education still worth it?

建 国之初，

我们就将教育视为民主和公民意识、

社会流动和国家繁 荣的基础。

高等教育能

开阔视野，

开启 成功之门。

然而越来越多的高中生和家长开始质疑高等教育的价值。

那么，

支持孩子接受高等教育是不是仍然值得呢？

The short answer is “yes.” There is no doubt that college pays off financially. A wide range of

statistics

shows

the

economic

advantage

of

a

four-year

college

education.

Over

a

lifetime,

students who graduate from college can expect to make about 60% more than those who do not,

well over a million dollars more than they would otherwise. Completing college makes an even

greater

difference

to

the

earning

power

of

young

women.

A

25-34

year-old

female

with

a

bachelor’s degree can expect to make 70% more

than if she had only completed her high school

diploma.

回答很简单

——“

值得

”

。毫 无疑问，高等教育带来经济回报，有大量数据表明四年大学教

育带来的经济优势。

大学毕业生一生所赚比从未接受过大学教育的人约多

60%
