Is a college education worth the price? This is a question more and more Americans are asking as college costs continue to rise and jobs are increasingly difficult to find upon college graduation. Attending a four-year private college in the United States can cost more than $40,000 a year. Many students have to borrow money to pay for their education. However, a recent study suggests that a college education is worth the price, at least in the United States. The study found that someone with a four-year college education earns twice as much as a high-school graduate over a lifetime. Generally, college majors that require skills in mathematics have high lifetime earnings. Researchers noted that future earnings should not be the only reason for choosing a college major. They said, "Personal enjoyment, having a meaningful job, and meeting a social need should also enter into a student's decision-making." ==========Question 1: How much does a four-year private college education cost in the United States?
