i am so psyched right now

But most science PhDs never make more than $70k/year

It's more around $100k because most science PhD's go into academia, however, it takes a while to get tenure. But that's nothing compared to what MD's and JD's pull in. No one goes into pure science expecting to make bank.

Because in today's world, you don't make bank unless you have a good education. And I mean real bank, like BIGLAW or CEO salary. Most uneducated plebes don't even know how to calculate compound interest, hth.

Fortunately I have a college education AND my bankers and I know how to calculate compound interest.

Take the average income from HS graduates, BS graduates, MS, PhD, JD, MD, etc. and it's pretty obvious.

Money can be made playing the lottery, but that doesn't mean that it's the credited choice for doing so.

I'm talking about making lots of money, as in lawyers, doctors, and upper-level business -- far beyond what's needed for a comfortable living.

bro, there's plenty of entrepeneurs, CEOs, etc etc who have made millions with a bach degree from some crappy college or a high school diploma even....a high priced education doesn't guarantee jack shit...i guess for some it's a great way to impress peeps on a message board

If you think the average bachelor can make up in three years what a lawer pulls in three years of school, you're mistaken. You might want to recalculate your numbers there, hth.

You are a good asskisser.



for real tho, awsome work bigman.

thanks bro. i see people like yourself that are young and all i can say is make your choices in life wizely. do not be quick to rush into things. i wish i had the dicipline to go to school out of high school. my gpa in high school was 2.4 because i never went ot class but scored high on the tests. my teachers thought i was cheating until they realized i was actually smart but lazy. if there was a party i went to it, if there was girls hanging out i was there. i would skip school and work for anything just to have fun. i had to get out of new york. im glad i did but now i look back and see what i could have dont better. i cant change the past but i can help others along the way. im 32 and fro some people they say its still young because 32 today is like 22 was years ago. people are starting out late in life because we are living longer and our parents made more money than our ancestors. people are postponing life more and more these days. i just feel i wasted so many years that i could have made better use of. i just now started investing. the navy didnt have any investment plans when i started. now they have a thrift savings plan which is unbelievable but they didnt come out with it until ly last 2 years in. i put money in but once i got out you cant put anymore money in so i rolled it over to the retirement plan my job has. but had i started that investment plan when i was 17 i would have more money than i do now.

man im all depressed tonight. i need a serious e-hug.

Averaged out, the guys with higher and more degrees make more. This is the reason I choose my wording to include terms like "average", "most", et cetera.

You won't get a prestigious CEO position with a high school deploma. Is it possible? Sure. So is winning the lottery. But I'm looking at the numbers averaged out, not exceptions to the norm. Also, I'm not differentiating how much prestige money a university is, and I assume people know that LS costs multitudes more than UG, making all LS degrees "high priced" relative to UG degrees. Lawyers still make bank compared to HS and bachelor grads in general.
