Education Having a good education, in the long run, can mean a lot. It makes the difference of whether or not you live in the streets or in a mansion. If the average high school dropout out makes a total of $609,000 in a lifetime, that means, if they work for 50 years, they only make $12,180 per year. That's making approximately $1015 per month. It will take a long time before they can own a decent 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom …showed first 75 words of 424 total…

…showed last 75 words of 424 total…only 25 years that means they would make $120,520 per year, at 10,043.33 per month. The professor would make $2,404,000 more than the average high school dropout. I don't know about you, but I think that's quite a bit of money gone to waste, that could have possibly been earned. At the least, be a High School graduate. It makes a huge difference. Spend that extra one or two years working hard. The education will eventually pay for itself.
