    Kami Export - Andi Hajdarmataj - Paying For College Data Crunch #5 - What's The Value of A College Degree

    The document compares earnings data between different generations for those with different levels of education. For the Silent Generation in 1965, those with a bachelor's degree earned $7,449 more than those with just a high school diploma. For Millennials in 2013, the earnings gap was larger at $17,500. The value of a two-year degree or some college for Millennials is that earnings are between those of high school graduates and bachelor's degree holders, but there is more value in completing a bachelor's degree. The educational earnings gap began to widen for late baby boomers, likely due to more people obtaining 4-year degrees and increased college attendance during this time period.

    What’s the Value of a College Degree?

    Data Crunch
    Paying for College #5

    1. For members of the Silent Generation (1965), 2. For Millennials (2013), what is the earnings gap
    how much more did those with a bachelor’s between those with a bachelor’s degree
    degree earn compared to a high school compared to those with just a high school
    graduate? $7,449 degree? $17,500
    DOK 1 DOK 1

    3. How would you summarize the value of a “two year degree/some college” when it comes to the earnings
    potential for Millennials?
    You earn between the high school graduates and the ones with a bachelor's degree. There isn't
    too much value as you should get a bachelor's instead if you go to college.
    DOK 2

    4. With what generation did you start to see this educational gap widen? What factors do you think might
    have caused this to happen? I started to see this gap widen during the generation of the late boomers. This was because
    more people began to get a 4-year degree. There was an increase in how many people went to
    DOK 2 college during this time.

    5. You see a headline that blares “College is not worth it anymore.” Agree or disagree with this statement,

    based on data from this chart and explain your reasoning. I disagree because with a 4-year degree, you will make
    substantially more money and have way more
    DOK 3 opportunities in your adult life.
