Trying to decide if going to college or a trade school is worth the price can be a very tough decision. There are many different factors to weigh to ensure that it makes sense for you. First you need to decide what specific program you want to pursue. You will have to consider that you will lose a certain amount of income generating potential while in school.Then, you have to look at the financial costs versus the increased income potential that you will receive over your lifetime.

Finding something you enjoy doing is one of the most important factors. Striking that perfect balance between what is fun to do and what you can make money doing is not easy. You certainly don’t want to invest money and time into learning a trade that you would not have fun waking up to do every day.

There are many competing opinions out there about how much more money you could make over a lifetime, if you invest in an education. The going consensus is that those that get a 4 year degree, tend to make, on average, $800,000 to $1,300,000 more money over their lifetime than someone who never pursues college at all. Of course, every person’s situation is quite different.
