Reply #78: These are AVERAGES!!!

[AP]

If you and 10,000 other Americans make six figures with only a high school degree, that probably means that there are 10,000,000 unemployed, and another 10,000,000 making 10k a year, and the rest clustered between 10k and 40k.

For every person here who says, "but I know someone making six figures without a college degree," they're pretty much proving that college is incredibly important because the averagage salary for a person with just a high school degree is probably in the 20k range.

And I can't believe you're doing well financially yet you laugh at the 1,000,000 lifetime earning difference between the average college graduate and the average non-college/HS graduate.

Who care's if you spend it or save it. Obviously, you're much better off having it or having had it.
