From the chart below, it is obvious that people's weekly earn will increases when they have a higher degree. For instance, Doctoral degree is 2 times higher than some college without degree. People's opinions are different. On one hand, some people hold the view that it's necessary to get the higher degree. In their eye's, only in this way can we get more. Just like we said,"No pay, no gain." If we attach significance to our future, we should learn more knowledge. On the other hand, other people think it's waste of money and time to seek the higher degree. There are so many things we can't learn from books. What's more, the level of education isn't the only thing decides your salary. As far as I'm concerned, we should do as much as we can to get knowledge, but it is blind to only seek the higher degree.
