Pays corresponds to education levels, as is demonstrated by the chart above, “Education: A Weekly Investment”. The weekly earnings in 2010 increases with the sort of diploma the person holds. For instance, the college students with no degree get paid $712 per week whereas those with a Bachelor’s degree can earn 50% more than them.

Several reasons, in my opinion, can be identified to account for this phenomenon. To begin with, compared with those with comparatively lower education degree, people who have received higher education possess considerably wider knowledge, more remarkable learning and research ability, greater innovation and most of all, resourceful social network, all of which are essential to a high-income work. Also, the higher one’s education degree is the bigger platform he will have to show his ability. For example, his college, university, or research institute will organize various job fairs for them to communicate face to face with employers.

This phenomenon tells us that education is a worthy investment, therefore, substantial education investment should be strengthened while we, as college students, should study harder to build our country and strive for a better life for ourselves.
