Suppose the following graph shows the earnings trajectory of college-educated workers (orange line) and of workers with only a high school diploma (blue line), through age 34. Use the grey quadrilateral (star symbols) to shade the area representing the direct costs of attending college for four years.

Once the quadrilateral is in place, click on it to show the value of the shaded area. EARNINGS AND COST (Thousands of dollars) 100 8 60…
