Just came across this statistic, and while I knew that college educated would in general be paid more, I found it a scary stat to see it when related to actual income. U.S. workers 18 and older possessing a bachelors degrees earn an average of $51,206 a year, while those with a high school diploma earn $27,915. But wait, there's more. Workers with an advanced degree make an average of $74,602, and those without a high school diploma average $18,734. US Bureau of Labour Statistics
