Answer:

The given statement is false

Explanation:

The relation between two variable is said to be negative if they are inversely proportional to each other.

That means if one variable is increasing the other must decrease.

In this case the higher the number of years are spent in college, the higher will be the earnings.

The higher the number of years are spent in a college, the higher is the education and qualification of a person and hence there are high chances of him/her getting a high paying job or doing something that could fetch ample amount of money.

Hence, the given statement is false
