Healthy, wealthy and wise: The value of a university degree

The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada released new data on the value of a university degree on Aug. 31. The report indicates that a university graduate will earn $1.3 million more over his or her lifetime than someone who has not gone beyond high school. They also have fewer periods of unemployment and tend to live healthier lives. Between Sept. 2008 and March 2010, there were 150,000 net new jobs for university graduates compared to 684,000 fewer jobs for those without a degree. More: http://bit.ly/diNaYy
