Question

There is a strong positive association between workers' education and their income. For example, the U.S. Census Bureau reported in 2012 that the mean income of young adults (ages 25 to 34) who worked full-time increased from $19, 174 for those with less than a ninth grade education, to $29, 058 for high school graduates, to $49, 796 for holders of a bachelor's degree, and on up for yet more education. In part, this association reflects causation-education helps people qualify for better jobs. Suggest several lurking variables that also contribute. (Ask yourself what kinds of people tend to get more education) Select the most plausible suggestion from the list below. Higher education, as well as workplace success, both lead to increased drive and motivation. Based on this, it is clear that higher education directly leads to a lower income. Getting a higher education leads to a higher income job, as well as increased drive and motivation. Thus we are forced to conclude that a high paying job leads to low motivation. Young adults with high drive and motivation will most likely succeed both in attaining a higher education as well as in the workplace. Drive and motivation lead to a higher income. College success also leads to a higher income. Thus, getting a higher education leads to increased motivation and ambition.
