Question

Michaela wants to earn as much money as possible when she finishes her education. Which of the following options gives her the best opportunity to earn the most money over her lifetime? A. drop out of high school so she can start working earlier in her life B. graduate from high school only to increase her chances of employment over those who dropped out of high school C. graduate from high school and partially complete a college degree D. graduate from high school and receive a college degree

Answer 1

Answer: D. graduate from high school and receive a college degree.

Explanation: If Michaela does not go to college and gets a job, she may get a job and make money, but that will not allow her to climb further since not having a degree can limit her to climb. If Michaela goes to college and gets a college degree, she has a better chance of getting a job where she can earn more money and earn more over time.
