<p>OL; you bring up some good point, however I don’t necessarily agree with certain assumptions. I don’t believe that a non-college educated person is less healthy than a college educated individual. Thus costing society more taxes. I know many people who didn’t go to college. Matter of fact, only about 65% of high school graduates will even attend college. Graduating is even lower. Also, my single mom was a high school drop out, but that didn’t mean that I would become one. Or never desire to go to college if I wanted. Plus, the whole $1 million over a lifetime earned is relative. My brother lives in New Jersey. He is not a college graduate. He makes about $30,000 more a year than I do, yet I have 3 college degrees. Also, even though I make less, my income does go further than his because of my cost of living. $1 million over 50 years of earning, means approximately $20,000 more a year. There are a lot of successful people in the country without a college degree. The numbers are very misleading.</p>
