uates make less than the average high school graduate of similar age who did not go on to college. Again, one out of every five high school graduates with no college training has a higher income during his peak years than the average college graduate of the same age. Viewed in the light of all the facts, it seems safe to conclude that an investment in education generally increases the probability of financial success but does not guarantee its attainment. Although the foregoing analysis offers answers to some questions, it leaves many others unanswered. For example, some factors, such as the person's intelligence quotient, his class rank at high school graduation, and the financial status of his parents, are no doubt related not only to college attendance but also to earnings in later life; to what extent are such factors independently associated with earning capacity?4 Can it be established that differences in quality of school training at each educational level help to account for variations in subsequent earnings? Would the results of a longitudinal study based on earnings histories of persons with different educational backgrounds lead to essentially the same fundamental conclusions as those in the present study which are based on a cross-sectional analysis? These and many other worthwhile investigations that could be undertaken would probably require the collection of new data. Other investigations could be made, however, from the same source as the present study. These investigations could include analyses of the relationship between educational attainment and income level by age, sex, and color within broad regions of the United States
