Fact of the Day

In 1990, the life expectancy of an American woman who never completes high school was 77.7 years. The life expectancy of a woman who completes college was 80 years. That makes for a difference of 2.3 years. By 2010, despite all the advances in medicine, the woman who never completes high school is expected to die sooner, at 77.3 years of age. But the woman who completes college is expected to live much longer,  to 83.9 years of age. That's a gap of 6.6 years.
