IN HOMAGE TO ANDY WARHOL THE «AVERAGE STUDENT»

«In fact on average the holder of a four year college degree will earn 62% more over their lifetime than a typical high school graduate. And that's just on average. The return on investment for attending one of the nation's 25 or so more selective colleges is far more impressive. Money well spent right? Well not necessarely. Although there is clearly a correlation between earnings and a four year degree a correlation isn't the same thing as a cause. Economists like Robert Reischauer ruffled feathers several years ago by pointing out that talented driven people kids are more likely to go to college in the first place- that they succeed in other words because of their innate abilities not because of their formal education».
