Its probably pretty close to the average starting salary of college grads without having to be out of the workforce for 4 years and paying tuition.
- dlp211 9y agoProbably, might even be better, but what is the likely salary progression. College grads still earn nearly $1MM more over their lifetimes.
- wagecuck 9y agoDoes this statistic still hold true for millennials though? Seems to be inflated by boomers and gen x, who got their degrees when they still meant something.
- RightMillennial 9y agoDo you happen to know if that is the mean or median, or how it skews? I've heard this statistic before and I'm curious about the details.
- dlp211 9y agoI've seen charts on the BLS site that show percentile vs. percentile and at the median salaries, it was about $1MM. It goes down, but there is still a substantial gap for the 10th and 25th percentile, and the gap grows for higher percentiles. I can't find it right now, but here is a comparison of weekly median salaries in 2014: https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2015/more-education-still-means-more-pay-in-2014.htm https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2015/more-education-still-means...
