My mother recently observed that our family is full of "late bloomers." Nearly everyone who has gone on to college did so several years, sometimes decades, after finishing high school. In the long run, our family will have several professionals in various fields. Each decision to return to school was made after this stark realization set in: You can't get ahead without a college education! Here's what you can expect: High School: Apartment living, hard job, old car, no extra money, trouble meeting bills and trouble attracting a suitable mate. No matter how buffed you are, people want financially stable partners! Associates Degree: Possibly own a modest home, have the ability to maintain family vehicles, can pay bills but may have some difficulty staying out of debt. You won't be the boss at work. Bachelor's Degree: Home ownership, good car, have responsibility at work and an adequate paycheck, can meet your bills and maybe have some money for investments. Promotions may be hard to get without a: Graduate Degree: With a Master's or PHD you can expect to write your own ticket: buy an adequate home in the area you want, own and maintain a vehicle, meet your financial obligations, attract a mate and put something aside for the future. You can plan and take family vacations and maybe dabble in phinlathropy.
