题目内容
【题目】Most people graduate from school and then get a job. Everyone wants a job and pays well. How much money can you make? Ask yourself these questions. What can I do? What skills do I have? Also ask yourself: How much education do I have? For most jobs, the higher your education, the higher your earning power (the money you can make).
For example, the United States, high school graduates make about $18,600 a year. If you don’t finish high school, you make only $10,800 a year. You can make $7,800 more each year by staying in high school.
If you stay in school, then you can make more money. Let's look at the example again. A person with a high school degree makes about $ 18,600 a year. If that person goes to college and gets a bachelor's degree, he can make $42,000. With a master’ s degree, he can make about $53,000. If the person gets a doctor's degree, he can make almost $ 79,000 or more a year.
We can learn a very important thing from this information. If you want to work and make more money, get a good education.
