The Return in Investment of a College Degree Is Real—In More Ways Than One
- In Georgia, a bachelor’s degree can add over $1.3 million to your lifetime earnings compared to stopping at high school. Master’s degree? Even more. That’s not pocket change—that’s generational wealth.
- College grads consistently earn more and have lower unemployment rates than non-grads.
- What about jobs that don’t require a degree? Most hit a ceiling fast, and automation and AI are reshaping industries. Many future jobs don’t yet exist, so college keeps your career options wide open.

Beyond the Numbers
- In college, you’ll learn critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability—transferable skills employers crave in a fast-changing world.
- It’s also about experiences: campus life, diverse perspectives, leadership opportunities, and friendships that last a lifetime.
- You’ll have access to mentors, professional networks, and opportunities that non-degree paths rarely match.
Your Future, Your Choice
Think big. Think long-term. Do you want flexibility? Higher lifetime earnings? More job security and less chance of unemployment? The payoff of a KSU degree lasts a lifetime.
