Peter Obsborn, Cornerstone University - A recent study from Georgetown University found that, on average, college graduates earn $1 million more in earnings over their lifetime. Another recent study by the Pew Research Center found that the median yearly income gap between high school and college graduates is around $17,500.
By choosing not to go to college, you are essentially forfeiting $17,500 per year and $1 million over your lifetime.
That's $1 million less in retirement and $17,500 less in disposable income every year. Before you don't go to college, consider what you would do if you had an additional $1 million available when you retire.
....Finally, the unemployment rate for those with college degrees is significantly less than those without. Consider these statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
