The FACT is, last time I heard, individuals with a degree on average over the lifetime... everynametaken Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 02:51:12 AM
make about a million dollars more than an individual without a degree. Of course there are exceptions like entrepreneurs who are successful but a true entrepreneurial genius is not common. And, I would point out that that figure is considering earning a degree out of high school, but still, educated workers make more. More education is never a bad thing. Screw that lady and her ridiculous logic.

Oh, I do agree with Tom's more in depth analysis btw, but I didn't take you as someone who would be pursuing something unreasonable so I didn't go into that kind of depth. ;)
