Is a college education worth the price?  This is a question more Americans are asking as college costs continue rising and the job market remains weak. Attending a four-year college in the United States can cost more than $40,000 a year. That information comes from the College Board, a private company. Many people with a college education are drowning in student debt. They had to borrow money to finance their education.
* worth the price = 가격만한 가치가 있다/ drown in = ~에 압도당하다, 싸이다; 익사하다/ finance = 자금(재원)을 대다

A recent study suggests that a college education is worth it, at least in the United States. That information comes from the Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution. The study found that someone with a 4-year college education earns two times as much as a high school graduate over a lifetime. And for nearly all study programs, an individual with a four-year bachelor’s degree earns even more than someone with a two-year degree.
* lifetime = 일생, 평생/ bachelor's egree = 학사 학위
