Okay...The average high school drop-out earns yearly depends on experience in whatever field, but there are so many ways to get around that type of pressure. It doesn't hurt getting your degree, that just let companies know that you excelled the college level, that you have for sure experience, and basically your college resume gets front place in line for employment. Also not to say that "johnny w/o the degree" is less of a perfect candidate. (Secret) Ambition,Drive, and the right resume w/ references can land the job. The average college graduate earns annual income because of the degree, but not all graduates land jobs right after graduation. It depends on the person, some don't need to succeed with an degree. My uncle was an high school drop out and he owns a successful transmission facility. You can get plenty of jobs in different areas that wages benefits your needs.

From a purely monetary standpoint, statistically the more education you have the more you can expect to earn and the faster your income will grow. According to the 2004 census bureau supplement the average income of someone with no more than a high-school diploma was $36,835. According to the same census bureau report the average income of someone with a two-year-college-degree was $51,970 which is an increase of $15,135. According to the 2004 census bureau supplement the average income of someone with a four-year-Bachelors college-degree was $68,728 which was an increase of $16,758 over the Associate degree. According to the same census bureau data the average income of someone with a Masters college-degree was $78,521 which was an increase $9,793 over the Bachelors degree.

An undergraduate person the two has no degree or has an associate's degree and is aiming for a bachelor's degree. A graduate has all the required ranges and is continuing their guidance to realize a grasp's, PhD, or Doctorate degree.

I don't have any figures, but some pretty valid observations.
You can figure that the only job a high school dropout will ever have will likely be blue collar. Entry level; about $25,000. This won't increase substantially until one enters a supervisory position, something which is not likely to soon happen to someone lacking the capacity to complete high school.
Average entry level college grad: Probably $30,000 to 40,000; doubling within 5 to 10 years.
