Earning a lot of money can let you live a somewhat comfortable life. It also allows you to provide for your family. According to Rotherham, “... (The) median weekly earnings for someone with some college but no degree were $712 compared to $1038 for a college graduate.” (Rotherham. p 80). In other words going to college lets yourself earn more money and if you were to do the math you earn $326 more than a person who went to college but has no degree. This quote supports the stance as to why college is worth it because it shows that you do earn more money than a high school graduate that only has a diploma. Another reason why attending college is worth it because it is important to some Americans. People who went to high school and tried their very best to get an A in every class usually want to go to college. According to Vedder, “ I would say graduates in the top quarter of their class should go on to a four- year degree program.” (Vedder p 79). In other words those who worked the highest and are ranking high in their classes should go to college. This quote supports my stance as to why it is worth it to go to college because it shows that the hard workers deserve and is important to go to
