Assignment 2

Cost/Benefit for college

The average cost for a public state college is about 5 thousand dollars a year, this price has been increasing each year since college has almost became a necessity. Getting a 4 year degree at a state college will cost you about the same as one year at a private college. So say you decide to go to the state school and stay living in your parents house, you have to spend money everyday for transportation, if you don't live close enough you might have to eat lunch at the college or restruant near. With lunch and transportation you probably are spending a minimum of $10 a day. So with spending $10 a day and having to go to school 5 days out of the week, that's $50 a week. When you are at college you probably are only working a minimum wage job when you can, so your not making a ton of money. The benefits of going to college are worth the 4 years of struggling for money to pay for everything. You are more qualified for a job than a person without that degree and some job experiance. On average you make 7 times more in your life time if you go to college than someone who dosent go to college.
