The Increasing Value of a College Degree
The cost of college has increased dramatically in recent decades, causing many college students to take student

loans to afford it. Despite this, the value of a college degree has never been higher. How can we explain this?

We can estimate the value of a bachelor’s degree as the difference in lifetime earnings between the average holder

of a bachelor’s degree and the average high school graduate. According to a 2021 report from the Georgetown

University Center on Education and the Workforce, adults with a bachelor’s degree earn an average of $2.8 million
