With college tuition skyrocketing to the moon and wages stagnating, its no wonder that people today ask whether or not college is worth it. Most studies show that the average college graduate will make more money over their lifetime as compared to their high school graduate counterpart. So yes, a college degree is still worth the cost... for now, but is it worth it for everyone?
Not everyone fits the average and each individual person has his or her own unique situation, and a college degree may not be worth it to everyone.
