Fed study: Skipping college adds up to $800,000 in lost earnings

Posted: 05 May 2014 10:01 AM PDT

FILE - In this July 10, 2013, file photo, prospective students tour Georgetown University's campus in Washington. The nation's college and university endowments, often used to fund scholarships and professorships, had strong growth in 2013, according to a report released Jan. 28, 2014. That's a bit of good news for higher education institutions under pressure to hold down tuition costs amid some enrollment declines. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)Over a lifetime, the average U.S. college graduate will earn at least $800,000 more than the average high school graduate, a study published Monday by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco shows. That's after accounting for the high cost of college tuition and the four years of wages lost during the time it takes to complete a typical undergraduate degree, the researchers found. "Although there are stories of people who skipped college and achieved financial success, for most Americans the path to higher future earnings involves a four-year college degree," wrote Mary Daly, the San Francisco Fed's associate director of research, and Leila Bengali, a research associate, in the latest Economic Letter from the regional Fed bank. In short, they found, "college is still worth it." A college student who pays $21,200 in yearly tuition will recoup that investment by age 38, the researchers found.
