If you work a job as graduated and not graduated of course you will get payed less and for most of the jobs you need diploma but people without graduation start their owns business and they earn even more than graduated people.

It's actually stupid how much more they pay graduates than non-graduates, even if the non-graduate does the job much better. Just one of the things that makes the world stupid today.

There is actual data on this question.  A group of college graduates make more money than a matched group who don't go to college.

Depends on the person for some answer is yes for some answer is no, if they think they can't do anything better than working in a qualified job they wont earn more.

Each year spent learning in an institution, is one less year you can make buck.

Nope, most of my mates who didn't go to college or uni are on a higher salary than me. They're either tradesmen or running their own business with the bonus of not being saddled with a huge student debt. Personally wouldn't bother with college unless you want to work in a specialised job like a doctor, vet etc.

Depends on the diploma you pass or the training you get, no ?

My plumber has such a high hourly fee and such job opportunities that he will always earn more money than me with a 6 years post baccalaureat diploma (I'm French)...

People that go to college are in average brighter, harder working, more ambitious and for more affluante families and they are meant to make more money (as a group) than people that don't go to college

If you factor in the cost of going to college will you really make more money because of the diploma you will get?

I think that's not really how the world works now. Even those who only finished high school, even elementary, can earn tons of money. It just depend on one's will, hard work and constancy.

education is not a significative, it depends on what you do and how you do it.
besides, if you are a fool in general, you cant make lots of money

I agree with you, I know a person who got master degree but he doesnt know how to do many simple things

if you really study hard then it will be helpful
in case you don't - no. maybe one day someone will ask you about diploma but if you know nothing about your speciality your diploma doesn't have any sense

I don't think people that go to college make more money .
 I have some my friends who don't go to college , they are very rich . They are richer than people that go to college

I attended college since i was somehow forced to do it, it was expected from me to do it and i did it. I think if i had free will i wouldn't attend, but now i'm happy i did. Somehow i see stuff different and i like the fact that i can get better job, but i'm still jobless Wink
Maybe you're a jobless because you're not looking for some jobs out there. But if you really want to have a job then use your good skills. Because working is not just something. Work really hard because you love your work not just because you have no choice.

According to me the answer is yes but not in all cases. For example, you could have good programming skills and might not have gone to college. In that case you could still earn more with an idea or by building something. But overall on average its proven that going to college is what will give you the edge. Companies don't hire people who have not been to a college. Even going to a college adds to your resume.

It is falsely proven by researches done for universities, in universities research facilities by university professors that have done a lot of studies themselves.

They rarely compared smart connected and driven individuals that don't go to college with smart connected and driven individuals that went to college. They never take into account that the system is biais towards people that didn't go to college and you have to go to college to practice some good paying jobs.

If you look at the return on investment for college degrees that you don't need to practice a job, the return is highly negative in the US.
