The average lifetime earnings for a male aged 18-64 withOUT a high school diploma or GED is $960,000 DOWN! 39% from what the same person could have expected in 1979.
A high school grad can expect to make $1,380,000 in his lifetime, DOWN from $1,814,000 expected in 1979.
A male with some college can expect to make $1,738,000 in his lifetime...DOWN AGAIN from $2,007,000 expected in 1979.
A college grad can expect to make $2,702,000. Almost the same as the
$2,736,000 expectation in 1979.A master's degree holder can hope to make $3,506,000 UP from the $3,039,000 the graduate school grad expected to make in 1979.
My son and I were talking about this the other day....he didn't know whether or not he wanted to quit school after he finished his BA degree.
When I show him these numbers, he will know what he SHOULD do.
What do you think?
