Value of a College Education, Becker Says
Columbia University professor Gary S Becker calculated that a $10,000 four year college investment could yield $1,000 to $1,200 more income annually than a high school path. He notes social benefits may exceed individual gains, with neighborhood effects boosting tax revenue and productivity. Over a 43 year post college career, extra income from education could reach at least $43,000, often much more, underscoring why many advisers push to reduce college drop outs and why a 5 to 1 return is appealing.
