Cap & Gown 1 When students graduate from high school, they often have a decision to make: start working or go to college. In the
United States, the median income for someone with a high school diploma is around $35,000/year. The average
price of a year of education at a public four-year college for an in-state student is $10,000 (tuition + fees).
For each career path, calculate the "net income" – a running total of how much money someone earns or spends -
in the four years after high school. Based on this, how much would you say college really costs? Explain.
