A recent investigation shows the weekly earnings of people with different levels of education. Graduates with a doctoral degree receive the highest weekly wage, which is $1550, followed by the ones with master’s and bachelor’s degrees, whose weekly earnings are $ 1272 and $ 1038. On the other hand, graduates with no college degree, or with high school diploma or with less than high school diploma earns $ 712, $ 626 and $ 444 per week respectively. As we can see, graduates with higher degree usually receive higher weekly pay. There are several factors contributing to this phenomenon. Firstly, graduates with higher degrees have acquired more knowledge and skills so that they can deal with tough tasks. What’s more, those people are better in resolving different problems. As a result, they are more likely to be employed by major companies when competing with their peers. Nowadays, our society is more and more in need of people with rich knowledge and strong ability. While it costs a lot to get higher degree, education is evidently a worthy investment.
