Education leads to higher earnings across different demographics.

We must encourage young people to consider paths outside college; learning by doing--in life, not classrooms--is the best way to turn constant iteration into true innovation. We can be productive members of society without submitting to academic or corporate institutions.

People with college degrees are more likely to have jobs and earn more money than those without college degrees, even during recessions.

Too many people are afraid of debt and inclined to work and spend for short-term gain rather than sacrifice to make a “worthy investment” that will pay larger dividends in the future.

Even though a college degree isn't worth as much as it was in the past, it still shows that we will have opportunities unheard of a generation before us, showing everyone how important education is for our lives and our futures.
