In the short term, going to college is costly, however, in the long term, the investment in college pays off handsomely through a lifetime of higher earnings. A <a href=\"http:\/\/uhero.hawaii.edu\/\">University of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> Economic Research Organization<\/a> (UHERO) report estimates the overall rate of return for a University of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> degree for those who continue to reside in <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> is approximately 11 percent.<\/p>\n<p>On average, for each $1 a <abbr title=\"东精影业\">东精影业<\/abbr> student invests in their associate&#8217;s degree, they receive $13.84 in increased lifetime earnings. For bachelor&#8217;s and post-graduate degrees, the effective lifetime returns on each $1 are $11.09 and $8.65, respectively.<\/p>\n<h2>Additional <abbr title=\"东精影业 Economic Research Organization\">东精影业ERO<\/abbr> findings<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>On average, an adult with an associate&#8217;s degree makes $360,000 more than a high school graduate over a lifetime of living and working in <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span>. This lifetime earnings difference is $950,000 for an adult with a bachelor&#8217;s degree and $1,560,000 for an adult with a post-graduate degree.<\/li>\n<li>A bachelor&#8217;s degree from <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> has a rate of return of 13.5 percent for men due to an expected increase in lifetime earnings of $1.5 million.
