Most people graduate from school and then get a job. 3Everyone wants a job that pays well. How much money can you make? Ask yourself these questions: What can I do? What skills do I have? Also ask yourself: How much education do I have? For most jobs, the higher your education, the higher your earning power.
In the United States, high school graduates make about $18,6oo a year. If you do not finish high school, you make only $10,800 a year. You can make $7,800 more each year by staying in high school!
4If you stay in school, then you can make more money. A person with a high school degree makes about $18,600 a year. If that person goes to college and gets a bachelor’s degree (学士学位), he can make $42,000 with a master’s degree (硕士学位), he can make about $53,000. If the person gets a phD (博士学位), he can make almost $79,000 or more a year.
We can learn a very important thing from the information. If you want to work and make more money, get a good education.
