had to borrow
money __61__ (afford)
their
education. So is a college education worth the price?
According to a study that __62__ (carry)
out last year,
a college
education is
worth it, at least in the US. The study shows that someone with a 4-year college
education earns twice as much, if not more than, __63__ a high school graduate over a lifetime. However, not all college majors have a guarantee of good wages. For example, a chemical engineer can expect to earn
double __64__ earnings of a social
worker over a lifetime. __65__ (general), college majors that require skill in mathematics have high lifetime earnings. Graduates __66__ (major) in computer science, engineering,
and physics have the highest wages. Majors who are connected
__67__ teaching children have the __68__ (low) pay.
The study may help students make better decisions about higher education. But experts say that future earnings shouldn't
be the only __69__ (consider)
thing when
choosing a college major. Personal __70__ (enjoy), doing meaningful work, and filling a social need should also enter into a student's decision-making.
