what is the wage differince between peaple who graduate then peaple who don't?

Question

the differince in money you make when you graduate then when you don't

Answer 1

Alot. Plus they spell better.

Answer 2

There is not much of a demand for young adults with just a High school education. Most college graduates will start out of college with a higher yearly salary than you will probably ever be able to achieve after working some where for 10 and you will be reaching the top pay in your field. In other words they will make more money in the first ten years after graduating from college than you will in a lifetime and not to mention the benefits and retirement plans available to them.

Answer 3

Graduation is an improvement or value addition that you achieve in your life during the course of education, employment and till the end of your lifetime.
If you are asking about education then my answer will be yes. There is a significance difference (now a days) in money you make through your employment. As graduation is meant to be a basic qualification now a days to differentiate one person from another, along with expertise and experience, so the answer is YES.

Answer 4

It all depends on what field they work in, but generally speaking, PEOPLE who have an education usually make more than people who don't.

There are of course cases where people who didn't go to school do very, very well. The actor, Mark Wahlberg was just on TV last night on a talk show talking about how he never finished school, but he had a God given talent for acting so he did well. This can apply to any field...some people just have a gift for certain businesses and can do well whether they went to school or not.

But, sometimes it's better to get that education (and learn how to spell) so it'll be easier to get your foot in the door.

Answer 5

depends on the company, depends on the position, it really just.. depends. any figure you hear is going to be an average of millions of people's salary figures. i've heard college grads make 400k in a lifetime (roughly 10k a year) more than their counterparts with just a high school degree.. and just last week, i heard 1 million more over the course of their lives (25k a year)

however, if i were to start my own company or get in good with an existing firm, i could make any amount per year as an individual (as opposed to as part of an average figure that spans millions of positions) with whatever degree i do or don't have. plenty of people strike it big on their own with no college, and plenty of people graduate from a top school to make 35,000 a year. generally speaking, though, you are more likely to be considered for the higher paying jobs if you are backed by an education (though, in sales, 250k a year is a very obtainable salary with very little education - if you're good at it)

also, most of those figures consider trade school as college (cosmotology, auto technitions, nurses, etc. 1-2 year degrees with jobs afterwords that'll pay 40-85k/yr.. more than most entry level jobs after a 4 year college)

personally, i'm in school right now just so i'm not immediately disconsidered for a job later in life.. but i'll probably end up doing something totally different than what i'm in school for. school is a hell of an investment in making yourself a more rounded person.. but the jury (for me..) is still out on whether it will pay off financially or not

Answer 6

Maybe the wage difference isn't based on money but ability -- like the ability to spell "people". Do you know that there are millionaires who didn't graduate from high school or college?

Our government would like all of us to believe that education is extremely important and that if you don't graduate from high school or college, you are going to have less wages. All I can say is "Figures lie and liars figure".

I know about 30 young men who didn't graduate from high school. Three of them went into the landscaping business (Yes they are American Citizens born and raised). They are making more money than several of their friends who graduated from High School, went on to College, Got Masters' Degrees and even a Doctorate in one case. When I asked them if they think all that education was worth the price -- they say they'll be in debt for the next 20 years and that given the differences in responsibility and the salary that goes with it -- they wouldn't do it again.

Several others studied on their own, developed some processes, went on to patent them and now they are rich!

Even others questioned the need for a High School Diploma to work retail and fast food (All American Citizens) or work in a grocery store. They dropped out, started working at age 16 and now everyone of them is a manager making more money than their college educated counterparts.

Now maybe these are the exceptions, but we don't have enough jobs in the USA for all our Technology Graduates -- many of them are laid off. Still our Government is sending those jobs out of the country or bringing in foreign-born people under professional visas to do the jobs that our students and citizens were educated to do. Do you think this might have anything to do with the fact that many of our businesses and corporations are being bought up by foreign owned partnerships?

Think about it. A high school dropout working in a laboratory in a menial position discovered DNA. So who do you want to believe--the people who have a vested interest in keeping their teaching jobs and getting money from the taxpayers to do so, or the former students who are out there leading productive lives without a high school diploma and are happy as clams?

Answer 7

I haven't the statistical data comparing income of graduates versus non-graduates (I assume you mean graduating from high school), but I strongly believe that being able to spell will make you more attractive to a potential employer. Illiteracy doesn't pay well in the workforce. Learn to spell, stay in school. Get your high school diploma or G.E.D. at the very least. It is very important. If you choose to drop out of school, you will regret it.

Answer 8

I'm assuming you did not graduate.
You spelled differince and peaple wrong.
Correct spelling should be difference and people.

Answer 9

Household income also increased significantly with the educational attainment of the householder. The US Census Bureau publishes educational attainment and income data for all households with a householder who was aged twenty-five or older. The biggest income difference was between those with some college education and those who had a Bachelor's degree, with the latter making $23,874. more. Income also increased substantially with increased post-secondary education. While the median household income for a household with a household holding an Associates degree was $51,970, the median household income for those with a Bachelor's degree or higher was $73,446. Those with doctorates had the second highest median household with a median of $96,830; $18,289 more higher than that for those at the Master's degree level, but $3,170 lower than the median for households with a professionals degree holding householder.

Answer 10

There are significant differences in average earnings, but that doesn't guarantee a higher salary through furthering your education. Higher education will probably ensure more job security in the future, however, as education standards are rising, and there aren't as many jobs available anymore for high school graduates.

Answer 11

The answer depends on how much formal education you achieve (i.e., H.S. diploma vs. bachelors vs. masters vs. doctorate).

P.S. There are returns on being educated other than just financial rewards. My college education fundamentally transformed my life and continues to pay off because I learned HOW to learn, and I continue to learn as a result. Recent research also shows a link between education and health outcomes (e.g., lower heart attack risk).
