Answer 1

                                                   The Real Truth Of
                                                          College


We are all aware of the "get good grades and go to college" routine of life and many people go down this path without question. It may seem like a legitimate idea, go to college and make more money. Well, this is definitely not the case. A recent study has shown the average annually cost of attending college is about $33,480. While this may help you further in life, such expectations lead to more debt and frustration. Another study showed the average college graduate made a annual $48,500. Sounds pretty good right? Well, look at your debt, $33,480 is over 69% of your salary. Now lets look at a example where you don't go to college, the IBEW, a electrical union. Yes you do schooling, but the cost is way lower than those of college. Even more, a IBEW member makes a average $52,910 - $82,680. This is a huge improvement from the $48,500 salary of a college grad. The circumstances can affect your decision, but knowing the facts can help you set a realistic goal in the future that would be beneficial to you.
