Yup, everyone drives it into you "go to college to make the big money" meanwhile most college graduates are making the same as those without college degree who worked over those 4 years since high school.
In 2003, workers with bachelor's degrees earned a median of $49,900. Those who'd completed several years of college with no degree had median earnings of $35,700, while those with a high school diploma averaged $30,800.
Projecting this over a 40-year career, the study calculated that a college graduate will earn about 73 percent more than a high school graduate.
What you make depends greatly on not only your profession, but where you live.........While interesting, keep in mind that this discussion is not exactly an apples to apples comparison.
