Here&#x27;s a study that puts it closer to $500 for women and $800k for men:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ku.edu&#x2F;2015&#x2F;06&#x2F;19&#x2F;ku-study-gives-more-accurate-picture-value-college-education" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ku.edu&#x2F;2015&#x2F;06&#x2F;19&#x2F;ku-study-gives-more-accurate-...</a><p>But these studies are all flawed because they are based on historical data when 4-year degrees were scarcer. In an era when many graduates can&#x27;t get a job or end up with one that does not require a degree (i.e. barista) it&#x27;s obvious that their ROI prospects are grim.
