well you can always convince them that procrastination is a bad thing by not coming prepared. Also, teach them how to spell, and use me as an example.

really rough estimates but i learned this in class last week. Getting a Phd will on average earn you 1 Million more over your lifetime than just having a Masters. A masters will earn you 500k more over your lifetime than just a college Bachelors. A Bachelors will earn you 500k more over your life time than a HS diploma, and a Diploma will earn you around 500k more over your lifetime than dropping out.

These are very general stats and i'd also like to see some more solid data as well
