Abstract	This report tracks 42,856 students who graduated from a Kentucky high school in 2010 until 2018, the most recent year of data available. Over half of these students entered an in-state college or university directly from high school. Another 5,000 had enrolled in college by 2018. All in all, 13,576 (32%) completed a postsecondary credential, and 1,709 were still enrolled at the end of eight years. Students who did earn a postsecondary degree were making significantly more money than high school graduates at the end of eight years - about $12,000 more for a bachelor's degree and $8,000 more for an associate degree. These differences grow even more pronounced over time, as degree holders are more likely to be promoted to managerial or leadership positions within their organizations. Salary estimates from the American Community Survey show that over an entire career, bachelor's degree holders in Kentucky earn $1.2 million more than high school graduates, and associate degree holders earn $422,000 more. This more than offsets their investment in the degree, even when lost earning potential is taken into account. A bachelor's degree graduate will make 26 times the investment, while an associate degree graduate will make 40 times the investment. (ERIC).
