Benefits:

  • Increased earning potential over a lifetime
  • Better career opportunities and job security
  • Acquisition of specialized skills and knowledge
  • Personal growth and development
  • Networking opportunities and exposure to diverse perspectives

Costs:

  • High tuition fees and other related expenses
  • You are essentially forfeiting the highest/lowest valued alternative to attend college by spending four plus years studying.
  • Opportunity cost of time spent in education instead of the workforce
  • Potential for student debt
  • Challenges balancing work and study
  • Risk of not getting a job in the field of study or not finding a job at all

Does that help?
