What I mean is, how much income should someone expect after getting a BD? The reason I'm asking this is because I'm just about to start going to college to get my BD and I want to make sure that I can live a normal, independant life after I get it.

well, you have a choice, technical school, an AA degree, a BS or BA degree, a MSW, JD, PhD, MBA, etc. What do "you" want to do with your life, what do "you" want to accomplish.
I have never heard of anyone referring to it as a "BD", usually they refer to it as a "bachelor's", a "BS degree", or an "undergraduate degree", and for two years it's called an "associates", of course there are more ways to refer to these degrees.
It all depends on what you specialize in, and if at the time it's popular and needed then the income is higher. If you plan just to get a general bachelor's degree then I suggest you get a good major and specialize to be able to find a good job.
There are never guarantees in life. If you have all A's, make connections and do networking while your'e in school, if you have done some community work at home, if you join groups, know the professors, and go to a popular school then you'd have a good chance at getting hired. Why not determine what exact job you want and then work toward that. Check like on monster.com and select a job and see what the requirements are and then take those classes in college. If you're going into business, finance, law, then take economics, law, psychology and you'd need a BS degree:
And if you're going into teaching then that's a whole nuther field with different requirements and you may be able to get away with a BA. If you're going into the arts maybe a BA would be ok.

Of course you can live a normal, independent life with a bachelor's degree. How much income you can expect varies a lot, depending on what you choose to do, but studies have shown that you can expect about $1 million more over the course of your lifetime than you could if you didn't have a bachelor's degree on average.

Depends where you are in the world.
In some parts, a bachelor's degree is equivalent to the high school diploma of our parents and in others it is paper-gold.
It's all relative, I suppose.

Possibilities are endless... whatever you want to do is within reach.
