Get a High School Diploma. On average, 15 - 20% of young people in developed nations quit high school before graduation. Unfortunately, the economic prospects of high school leavers are poor. In Canada, for example, they are three times more likely to be unemployed than university graduates. Education also has a direct impact on earnings. An American study comparing the incomes of university and high school graduates found that degree holders made 54% (males) to 88% more (females).
