The average single-year tuition and fees for a public institution with in-state tuition, including room and board, in 2014 was $18,943, according to USA Today. For out-of-state students, the price increased to an average of $32,762. And we want to raise the minimum wage to $15.00, lets put in perspective that $18,943.00 multiply that by 4 years and you end up getting 75,722.00. Then if the minimum wage would be at $15.00, then why not raise the wage to $17.00 for a person having an AA, and $20.00 for a person having a BA?
