Can you draw sosial security if gruate ahd go on to college?
Social Security benefits are not directly tied to whether someone graduates high school and attends college. Eligibility for Social Security retirement benefits is based on your earnings history throughout your working life. The more you earn and the longer you work, the higher your benefits will be. Going to college may delay entry into the workforce, which could slightly reduce your total earnings before retirement and thus potentially lower your eventual benefit amount. However, a college education often leads to higher-paying jobs later in life, which could offset this initial delay and potentially result in higher lifetime earnings and higher Social Security benefits. There's no direct causal relationship; it's more about the impact on overall earnings over a working lifetime.
