Entry #5: Higher Education

The most important aspect in making the most of your life is to keep moving forward. In a world where money decides how comfortable you live, the most you can do to keep moving forward is to find a way to make the most money possible while enjoying what you do. However, finding this path forward can be quite difficult. You either have to get lucky, or sink a lot of time into some sort of project to make this work. For some, this is making a business or learning a craft. For most, this is the process of going through higher education.

Higher education is the most widely applicable way for people to succeed. Not everyone can get lucky, and not everyone is crafty in a way that can make them money. And even if they can be, higher education still helps increases their chances of making a good living one day. In an article written by Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, it is stared that "Arizonans with a high-school diploma earn an average of $27,120, according to 2014 Census data. Those with a bachelor’s degree earn an average of $46,407" 

College bound students are more likely to get higher paying jobs. It's up to you to decide on if you want that but the statistics show its better for you and for the economy to go through with it.
