Higher education is critical. By 2020, 65% of jobs will require some sort of education beyond high school. And college graduates end up earning nearly $1 million more than a high school graduate over their lifetime. Those with a college degree are also healthier, more likely to vote, and more engaged in their community. BUT starting college is not enough. Half of the students who enroll don’t graduate, and that is a problem the next Higher Education Act should address.
