A college education is definitely an important part of getting a good-paying job. Of course, the degree a person receives is very important. Someone with an engineering or business degree will generally have more earning power than someone with a degree in liberal arts. A person must have marketable skills. As to whether a college education can help a person up the ladder - you bet. Education is all about knowledge and preparation for a particular career. Without that, a person's success in a particular field will be limited. Socioeconomic class is defined many ways, based on wealth, lifestyle, education, values, etc. Most people are either middle class or working class, and the biggest differentiating factor between the two is education. Higher education brings with it more earning power and generally a broader perspective about the world, which shapes our lifestyle and values.
