Laura Bartz, Chapter 6, Question 1

In chapter 6, Wheelan talks about human capital. He talks about the reason why a lot of people are wealthy is because they have good human capital. Some people who have strong human capital have it because ether are naturally good at something, like Michael Jordan, others have invested in their human capital to be able to learn skills that will increase their capital. So when people start asking the question of is college actually worth it, there will be a lot of different answers. Wheelan would say that yes in fact college is worth the investment because you are investing in your human capital. Now Wheelan would not suggest that you go to Sarah Lawrence college as he previously talked about in the book, that the student is more telling of success than the college, but college is worth it, to increase your human capital.
