Some students have this thought about whether or not they will even earn more money with a college degree than with only a simple high school diploma. While some people with only a high school diploma do earn more than people with a college degree, these are really rare like for example Steve Jobs. However, according to Cornerstone University, in 2015 having an education up to the associate's degree level meant that you would be paid about the same as a High School graduate. However, it was only after the bachelor's degree that there was a big increase between the weekly earnings. Another thing that is beneficial to earning a degree is that the unemployment rate is much lower than people with only a high school diploma. Having a college degree means that you will be making more money than the average high school graduate and there are also far fewer chances that you'll be unemployed. Also, according to smartasset, the average salary of a high school graduate is $678 weekly earning and $35,256 per year. A person who has an associates degree makes on average $798 and $41,496 yearly which means that they will be making on average about $6,000 more than a high school graduate. The biggest difference comes when a person has a bachelors degree as they are making an average of $59,124 a year which is about $25,000 more than a high school graduate. If the person obtains a masters degree, they will be making about $69,732 a year which is a good $35,000 more than an average high school graduate. So the best way to make more money is by going to college and earning your degrees.
