US university dividend 'highest in world'

David Turner:

The value of a university education for male students in the US in terms of future earning power is double the rich country average, research by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development suggests.

A male graduate in the US can expect to earn $367,000 extra over his lifetime compared with someone who has merely completed high school.

The income boost for men is higher than for any other country in the world and double the rich-country average of $186,000, suggesting that in the US going to college is particularly key to high earnings.
