"Economists report that a college education adds many thousands of dollars to a man's lifetime income - which he then spends sending his son to college"

About this Quote

This quote by Bill Vaughan highlights the economic effect of a college education. According to financial experts, acquiring a college degree can substantially increase a person's life time earnings by thousands of dollars. However, the paradox lies in the truth that this increased income is typically utilized to fund the education of the next generation. To put it simply, a male's hard-earned cash is spent on sending his child to college, therefore perpetuating the cycle of investing in education for future generations. This quote clarifies the significance of education not simply for individual growth, but also for the improvement of society as a whole.
