Explain how higher education isn't beneficial? Also, I will give you that in a select number of cases, it is possible for a high school drop out to make more than a college graduate. More often then not, this is not the case as depicted by the graph. How much does you "friend" make per year and how can you associate one case of success with the United States general population?
Sorry you’re so bitter about your career choice but to go and say that higher education isn’t beneficial does not make any sense.
