Like a good economist, you calculated the opportunity cost of getting your college degree. Suppose that at your university, you will pay $12,000 each year for tuition, $2,500 each year for textbooks, and $8,000 per year for room and board. Before you left for college, your boss at your high-school job offered you a job paying $20,000 per year.
