that was before, these days it is more of a global economy now, talk to me in 10 years when we are talking about todays time, you have people with degrees bar tending and working in warehouses.
china man has tooken over and if you think for 2 seconds big business cares about helping the "college kid" at home you are mistaken. they will import and export whatever the fuck is cheaper and which can fatten their wallets.
you are going to see a huge shift away from these averages.
