When picking which school to attend, some look to university rankings, where Harvard University in the United States consistently comes in on top. Moving on up One of the major perks of attending university is that it enables people to move up in the world. Getting a good education is generally seen as a giant step along the path to success and opens up doors for future employment.

Earnings White Americans with a professional degree earned the most money on average, compared to other educational levels and races.

Despite the decreasing wage gap over the years in the country, it remains an issue to this day.
