Making the decision to get a college degree can be one of the most important decisions of your life. The earnings potential of an adult that has no college education and that of someone with a professional college degree can be staggering. Over the course of a lifetime a professional with a Ph.D. degree will earn on average <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lucida grande" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">$3.25 million</span>, and someone with a master's degree can expect to earn <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lucida grande" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">$2.67</span> million. For a <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lucida grande" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">bachelor's degree? The lifetime earning potential averages</span> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lucida grande" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">$2.27 million. Compare that with someone that has only a high school education.</span><br />
