    College attendance has risen since 1980 from twentysix percent to fortyone percent, more people are attending college for all the right reasons. A college graduate who works full time earns about $ 17,500 more than a high school graduate. If you're a low income student then perhaps Harvard might be out of your financial reach so you might have to go to UC San Diego.
