For example, in the United States, high school graduates can make about $30,400 a year. The people who do not finish high school average only $23,400 a year. Just having a document that says you finished high school means an extra $7,000!

If you stay in school, you can make more money. A person who goes to college and gets a bachelor’s degree can make an average of $52,200. With a master’s degree, he or she can make about $62,000. And studies show that if a person gets a PhD, he or she can make $89,000 or more a year.
