Think College!

photo of students gathered around microscopes at a University of Kentucky exhibit GEAR UP stresses the importance of completing high school and going to college. Why is college so important? One word — opportunity. A college degree gives you options. It gives you access to higher paying jobs. On average, a college graduate earns $16,000 more per year than a high school graduate. College introduces you to new people, ideas, interests, and activities. College puts you in charge of your own future.
