Answer:
No, a college degree can help you earn a better salary but nothing is guaranteed. For example, someone with a college degree earns on average around $50,000 per year, while those with only a high school degree earn around $28,000 (that is almost half of a college graduate).
But the salary you earn is not guaranteed, it might be much higher or it might be zero. If you work hard you might get a raise pretty soon or you can get promoted, but if you are lazy then you can get fired.
The income classification is based on income, not on education. There are people who never graduated from college that are extremely rich, e.g. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, but they are not the majority. That is why they serve as examples so often. Most rich people actually do have a college degree, but they are rich not because of their college degree, but because of their work.
