Several reasons, in my opinion, can be identified to account for this phenomenon. To begin with, compared with those with comparatively lower education degree, people who have received higher education possess considerably wider knowledge, more remarkable learning and research ability, greater innovation and most of all, resourceful social network, all of which are essential to a high-income work. Also, the higher one‟s education degree is, the bigger platform he will have to show his ability. For example, his college, university, or research institute will organize various job fairs for them to communicate face to face with employers. This This phenomenon phenomenon phenomenon tells tells tells us us us that that that education education education is is is a a a worthy worthy worthy investment. investment. investment. Therefore, Therefore, Therefore, substantial substantial substantial education education education investment investment should be strengthened while we, as college students, should study harder to build our country and strive for a better life for ourselves. 高分版： Education Pays Judging from the table, we can see that people‟s income increases along with their education levels. Above all，the average college graduates earn much more than the typical high-school graduates. 

The fact revealed by these data is obvious: a degree does bring distinctive financial benefits to its holders. But is it true that a degree alone can ensure a bright future? I don‟t think so because, on the one hand, the financial value of high education depends heavily on what skills graduates can gain from it instead of the degree itself. After all, an employer employer only only only pays pays pays for for for your your your ability ability ability and and and performance, performance, performance, not not not for for for your your your certificate. certificate. certificate. On On On the the the other other other hand, hand, hand, the the the most most valuable bless high education brings to graduates is the ability to learn quickly and efficiently. People received more more education education education tend tend tend to to to keep keep keep lifelong lifelong lifelong learning learning learning habits habits habits after after after their their their graduation, graduation, graduation, which which which would would would help help help them them them gain gain gain more more opportunities in their career path. In In conclusion, conclusion, conclusion, what what what accounts accounts accounts for for for education education education pays pays pays is is is not not not the the the degree degree degree alone, but alone, but the graduate‟s ability ability ability and and and leaning leaning habit. 作文B：

Education Pays The above bar chart clearly shows us education pays in 2010. We see that unemployment rate of those with higher education background is much lower than those with lower education degree. For instance, the unemployment rate of college students with no degree is as high as 14.9% while that of those with doctoral degree is only 1.9%. 

The followingreason, in my opinion, is the most important one to account for this phenomenon. Compared with those with comparatively lower education degree, people who have received higher education possess considerably wider knowledge, more remarkable learning and research ability, greater innovation and most of all, resourceful social network, all of which make them more qualified and competent for their task. Thus, they are less likely to lose their jobs.
