Career Outlook for Professional Studies
Regardless of your major, college degree holders earn much more than workers with just a high school diploma. According to a U.S. Census report, college graduates made an average of $51,554 in 2004, compared to $28,645 for adults with only high school diplomas. Applied to a 35-year career, that difference amounts to more than $800,000.
