Question

After doing some sociological math, the net difference between the annual earnings of the average high school versus college graduate is about _____ per year

Answer 1

The difference is approximately $15,000 per year. High school graduates tend to earn quite a bit less than their college-educated counterparts. This discrepancy only increases as the levels of education discrepancies increase, as well. Students with graduate degrees earn quite a bit more than those with undergraduate degrees.
