Is it worth the time and stress?

The stress is worth the degree

Is getting your degree really worth the stress time and money you invest in a college or university? According to study.com people who earned degrees in 2015 earned $48,500 while those without degrees earned $23,900. so yes, it really is worth it in the long run. Although some people drop out of school and manage to find jobs it it shown that those who do not finish college are more likely to be unemployed long term. Although finishing school does not guarantee you a job the odds are in your favor and you are more likely to succeed in the job market with a degree than if you did not have one.
The article goes on to state that over the years the earnings of college graduates has increased and will continue to increase as time goes on.The article also states that earnings also differ as far as gender also but even this does not change the fact that college graduates on average earn more.
 
College is a stressful time not only from the loads of course work but from just trying to figure out how you are going to pay for it all, be the best student you can be and manage a social life all at the same time. But based on the statistics and findings college does pay off in the long run. Although it may seem like the most logical option to stop school and start working, if you just manage to finish and get your degree.
