How does economics relate?
Going to college is an investment in yourself. Due to higher wages and lower unemployment for college grads, investing in a college education generates a 20% return on your money. While this may “set you back” it will also give you a higher return in the long run. This is directly related to economics. Think of it this way. If you have a regular push mower (high school education) you can mow about 5 lawns a day. If you spend $5000, then you can buy a nice riding mower and mow 15 lawns a day. While in the short term this will set you back, over time you will make that money back and be making much more. Hope that helps.
