How’s The annual income for a high school dropout is $26,300. With being just out of high school, you could be moving into an apartment, condo, or even a house. With this in mind, imagine you with a wife, girlfriend, fiancé, and even a baby or two. Now, you have to pay for the house, groceries, necessities, and a way of transportation. With only $26,000 this is definitely a stressful environment. Let’s say you didn’t drop out but you are a drug addict. You may finish high school, but you still make an annual income of around $30,000. This is enough to survive by yourself, but with family, comes many responsibilities. You will end up having to buy drugs, pay for the house, a wife, or a baby.

Why’s A major factor determining whether someone will end up living in poverty, education or skill level can make or break an income. Education plays a major role in acquiring jobs, learning new skills, and bringing home necessities and wants of life. A person who doesn’t receive an education has a very small chance of making much money and acquiring skills that would bring home a desirable income. Many who do not have an education bring their family into a cycle of poverty, where their posterity doesn’t necessarily have the income to go to college or even don’t have a desire to acquire a high school diploma.
