It is proven that those with college degrees will make usually millions more in their lifetime than those without. However to get the really good salaries it is usually about who you know and not what you know.

Salary relates more to position, experience, and education than it does to ability. Ability is one area that is very difficult to assess in an interview, and it's not usually apparent until after the employee has started work. So, we look at a resume which indicates what experience the applicant has had, what projects he or she has done, what education background, etc.
Most companies have pay grades which are tied to job titles - engineers make more than janitors, CEOs make more than administrative folks, etc.

Salary reflects productivity in some cases...reflects qualification in other cases. Most companies pay more to people with degrees but theyre not necessarily better workers. People like Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki will tell you plain that you don't need degrees to earn the highest incomes...
Highly qualified people earn on average, higher incomes but their liabilities are much higher and they're also in debt deeply. They get to take more loans for boats and bigger houses whatever but MOST OF THEM CANNOT WRITE A CHECK TO SEND THEIR KIDS TO COLLEGE.
Degrees prepare you for certain workplaces but they do NOT prepare you for life. Money is important indeed and street sense goes way beyond 'book sense'.

Let's say you are in a job that pays between $13 and $15/hour.
That being said, let's say that you just came out of college and have no experience. You're perfect for the job, but there's just no experience. That's $13/hour.
Let's say you are well versed in the job and have 5+ years of experience. That's $15/hour.

It has more to do with sex and height.
Taller people make more than shorter people.
Men make more than women.
There is no exception to this rule.
Salary has to do with ability to impress the boss, whether with looks or personality, but I have never seen the most able people being paid more.

I don't think it does. How much you're paid has more to do with company guidelines for the position and how well you negotiate when you're in the hiring process.
It ain't fair, but there you are.

I don't believe it does not when I think about some of the many utterly useless managers I've known.
