> Why is the earnings premium of a university degree over 70% in the USA?

This is absolutely not true in general. (It may be true in some select fields.) I understand that about a third of US college graduates are no more employable than if they never went to college, and have significant student debt.

I am an engineer. What I found is that it is the (quality of) your fellow students that is the biggest factor. Also, college (much more than high school) is where you will establish the greatest friendships and important social and professional links that will be with you for the rest of your life.
