If graduating high school was worth $200,000 would you still drop out? Actually, it does. Result studies show that high school graduates earn an average of $200,000 more than non-graduates over the course of a 40-years period following school. That's right, almost a quarter of a million dollars more. The trouble is that most people thinking about dropping out of school don't realize that their earning potential will be all but gone, and that they will never own home and drive a car nicer than the one they currently cruise in. So, if you are considering dropping out of school, at least there·s one good thing… you won·t have to worry about what to do with all that money. 2. Write down the elements of the poster.
