The College Payoff: More Education Doesnt Always Mean More Earnings

The College Payoff: More Education Doesn't Always Mean More Earnings explores how lifetime earnings vary by education level, field of study, occupation, industry, gender, race and ethnicity, and location. The lifetime earnings of a full-time full-year worker with a high school diploma are $1.6 million, while workers with an associate's degree earn$2 million. However, at least one quarter of high school graduates earn more than an associate's degree holder. Bachelor's degree holders earn a median of $2.8 million during their career, 75$3.2 million over their lifetimes, while doctoral degree holders earn $4 million and professional degree holders earn$4.7 million. However, one quarter of workers with a bachelor's degree earn more than half of workers with a master's or a doctoral degree

The College Payoff: Education, Occupations, Lifetime Earnings

Examines lifetime earnings by educational attainment, occupation, age, gender, and race/ethnicity; variations in earnings at the same degree level by occupation and in the same occupation by degree level; and top-earning occupations by degree level

The Colleges Where Low-Income Students Get the Highest ROI

College typically pays off for low-income students, but not as much as it does for their peers. Low-income students, whose families earn $30,000 or less per year, comprise more than one-third of college students. The Colleges Where Low-Income Students Get the Highest ROI finds that low-income students have a lower return on investment (ROI) than all students, largely because they tend to earn less as adults. This holds true across public and private institutions and certificates, associate's degrees, and bachelor's degrees. Among institutions that primarily award bachelor's degrees, public institutions generally lead to the highest ROI for low-income students during a 40-year timeframe ($951,000), followed by private nonprofit institutions ($863,000) and for-profit colleges ($763,000). The ROI for low-income students follows a similar pattern at colleges that primarily grant associate's degrees and certificates, with the highest returns from public institutions, followed by private nonprofit and for-profit institutions. However, low-income students' returns from associate's degrees can exceed $1 million, and certificates can be just as lucrative, depending on which college a student attends

A First Try at ROI: Ranking 4,500 US Colleges And Universities

Using data from the expanded College Scorecard, this report ranks 4,500 colleges and universities by return on investment.A First Try at ROI: Ranking 4,500 Colleges finds that bachelor's degrees from private colleges, on average, have higher ROI than degrees from public colleges 40 years after enrollment. Community colleges and many certificate programs have the highest returns in the short term, 10 years after enrollment, though returns from bachelor's degrees eventually overtake those of most two-year credentials

Optimum Unambiguous Discrimination Between Linearly Independent Symmetric States

The quantum formalism permits one to discriminate sometimes between any set of linearly-independent pure states with certainty. We obtain the maximum probability with which a set of equally-likely, symmetric, linearly-independent states can be discriminated. The form of this bound is examined for symmetric coherent states of a harmonic oscillator or field mode.Comment: 9 pages, 2 eps figures, submitted to Physics Letters

Buyer Beware: First-Year Earnings and Debt for 37,000 College Majors at 4,400 Institutions

Did you know that in the first year after graduation you can make more money with an associate's degree in nursing from Santa Rosa Junior College in California than with a graduate degree from some programs at Harvard University? Data from the College Scorecard reveal many more surprising details of post-college outcomes for students and families about that all-important first year after graduation. Buyer Beware: First-Year Earnings and Debt for 37,000 College Majors at 4,400 Institutions finds that first-year earnings for the same degree in the same major can vary by $80,000 at different colleges and universities. It also reveals that workers with less education can often make more than workers with more education, and that higher levels of education do not always result in higher student loan payments

Navigating the College-to-Career Pathway: The 10 Rules of Moving from Youth Dependency to Adult Economic Independence

Over the past half century, postsecondary education has played an increasingly important role in career preparation in the United States. Having a college degree or certificate has become both more valuable in the labor market and more expensive, with much of the burden falling directly on students and their families. Meanwhile, the postsecondary landscape has become increasingly complex. Navigating the College-to-Career Pathway: The 10 Rules of Moving from Youth Dependency to Adult Economic Independence, published in partnership with the Postsecondary Value Commission, highlights key considerations for students as they prepare to make one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives

GANGLION POTKOLJENICE – RIJETKA LOKALIZACIJA GANGLIONA

Ganglions (hygromas) are cystic tumors of soft tissue filled with jelly like substance. Most often they are localized on hands and feet. Very rarely they are localized in other sites.A very rare localization of the ganglion has been presented here found on the lateral side of the left lower leg starting from the proximal tibiofibular joint

Phase equilibria and electrical properties of pyrochlore and zirconolite phases in the Bi2O3-ZnO-Ta2O5 system.

The complete subsolidus phase diagram of the system Bi2O3–ZnO–Ta2O5, including cubic pyrochlore and monoclinic zirconolite phases, has been determined at 950–1050 °C. Through systematic heat treatment and X-ray diffraction of over 100 compositions, the layout of compatibility triangles (both 2-phase and 3-phase) and single phase solid solution areas has been determined. Pyrochlore and zirconolite phases have ideal nominal compositions Bi1.5Zn1.0Ta1.5O7 and Bi2(Zn1/3Ta2/3)2O7 respectively, but both form solid solution areas. The sintering condition of pyrochlore pellets has been optimised to obtain high density ceramics with minimal weight loss: optimised condition is 1100 °C for pellets covered with sacrificial powder. Permittivity, ɛ′ dielectric loss and temperature coefficient of capacitance, TCC, of single phase materials were measured using impedance spectroscopy; ɛ′ and TCC show little variation with composition but the losses are higher for Zn-deficient compositions

The Cost of Economic and Racial Injustice in Postsecondary Education

In partnership with the Postsecondary Value Commission, we conducted a thought experiment on the costs of inequality in the US education system. Our simulation found that the US economy misses out on $956 billion per year, along with numerous nonmonetary benefits, as a result of postsecondary attainment gaps by economic status and race/ethnicity. The Cost of Economic and Racial Injustice in Postsecondary Education finds that closing these gaps would require an initial public investment of at least$3.97 trillion, but the benefits would outweigh the costs over time. Equalizing educational attainment without increasing student debt for low-income adults could also boost GDP by a total of $764 billion annually
