"Easily" should be taken to mean "more easily than someone with just a high school diploma in a field where education matters".  \n\nPlus, college doesn't benefit every field the same way, it really depends on what you go to college for.  Doctors?  Lawyers?  Teachers?  Scientists?  Engineers? Yep!  \n\nPeople need to do a cost analysis on college versus what they plan to do with themselves. Maybe you don't need a 200k degree to work at a newspaper.\n\n
