That is emphatically no longer the case, and much of the time is actually the opposite.

So these days someone having a degree often means they are actually less intelligent and worse off financially.

The "everyone has to go to college" mentality is from retarded boomers who push their kids into student loans they will spend the rest of their life paying off. the amount of young grads working part time at starbucks and service jobs is astonishing.

News flash for tradies:

According to the BLS, the average salary of a person with a Bachelor's is $27,500 higher than a person with a high school education. The unemployment rate for college graduates is 3.7% compared to 6.7% for the general population.

LOL @ tradies srs

The average net worth of a person who graduated high school is $305,200

The average net worth of a person who holds a bachelor's degree? $1,519,900

Over their lifetime a normal worker with a Bachelor's will earn $2.3 million

A normal worker with a high school diploma will earn $1.3 million
