Answer: plenty! 
A recent study of Lower Columbia College's impact on workers' earnings found that an associate's degree from LCC means $9,300 more per year in salary for the rest of a graduate's working life.

In fact, for every credit they earn at LCC, students will earn an average of $104 more every year.  These benefits change their children's lives, and affect the community's health and the state and local economies.
