Student Loan Debt Burying Graduates
Getting a college degree is more important than ever. Over a lifetime of employment an average college graduate will earn more than twice the income of someone who graduated from only high school.

Not only that but the high school graduate is receiving what could be valuable on the job training while being paid for their services.
