The cost of education these days would make anyone squirm, but researchers say it’s worth it.
People with a bachelor’s degree make 84% more over a lifetime than high school graduates. In 1999, the premium was 75%, according to a study released Friday.
Granted, the report comes from a university -- specifically, Georgetown’s Center on Education and the Workforce.
But the data is striking, especially amid the backdrop of increasing concerns about soaring school expenses.
-- On average, a doctoral degree-holder will earn $3.3 million over a lifetime, compared to $2.3 million for a college graduate and $1.3 million for those with a high school diploma. LA Times

Against the resolute push for higher academic standards geared toward preparing students for college, the Palo Alto High School math department has drawn a line in the sand.
Don't prepare all students for University of California entrance, the math faculty argues, because not all students can master quadratic equations and logarithmic functions.
Their counterpush against raising graduation standards to include Algebra II has angered educators and parents who believe schools, including districts like Palo Alto with strong college-going cultures, are failing poor and minority students by expecting too little of them.
The parents point to startling statistics: In the Palo Alto and Gunn high schools' 2011 class of seniors, only 15 percent of African-Americans and 40 percent of Latinos completed the prerequisites for the University of California and California State University with a C or better. That compares with 79.5 percent districtwide meeting those so-called A-G requirements. Mercury News
