Avg Harvard grad salary at 30 vs HS dropout salary at 30? Feels like her data sources are biased or omitting things
- hilux 3y agoI'm not vouching for the data, but here is an explanation for why Ivy League grads may be low earners *at age 30*. Ivy League grads (I know "lots") are very often from well off families, and are overwhelmingly more likely to go to grad school or into low-paid and public-service careers (like teacher, DA, journalist, writer) because they can afford to. So at age 30, they haven't yet got that MD or PhD or published their big novel or married that investment banker or leveraged those political connections (from being DA) into big bucks. But they will. Or maybe the trust fund will tide them all the way through.
