I can assure you from personal experience and observations that Ga> those degrees make a HUGE difference in earning potential. There's a problem there too, in that tuition costs have generally risen quite high, and education debt is a problem for a lot of people. We have high costs of housing (and everything else, with inflation), but the very high costs of college tuition can be a barrier that prevents people from getting an education that could enable a high income for people. Lately I've been thinking more and more that college shouldn't cost so much; maybe it shouldn't be free, necessarily, but not so expensive as to be a burden on people who want higher education. Also, I think if more poeple are able to afford to go to college, there would probably be an economic benefit to having more people with degrees to contribute to production of a variety of products and services that benefit people (and which people generally buy).
