DO you know what the average college grad earns? 32k a year.
That's not a lot. The average graduate student earns what? 44k a year. SO as you can see a college diploma isn't going to guarantee you money.
The average attorney makes what their first year? less than 54k.
Again these were all averages, some guy might make 130k out of university and another may make 22k as a public defender.

And the number for the average high school grad?
Soon people will save there way to a million dollars net worth but in the past this was not easy to do without a really decent sized income. OK the people retiring now if they had a decent income problably saved to this mark. But it was a more startling contrast in my peer group.
