There are significant differences in average earnings, but that doesn't guarantee a higher salary through furthering your education. Higher education will probably ensure more job security in the future, however, as education standards are rising, and there aren't as many jobs available anymore for high school graduates. |

I'm assuming you did not graduate.
You spelled differince and peaple wrong.
Correct spelling should be difference and people. |

depends on the company, depends on the position, it really just.. depends. any figure you hear is going to be an average of millions of people's salary figures. i've heard college grads make 400k in a lifetime (roughly 10k a year) more than their counterparts with just a high school degree.. and just last week, i heard 1 million more over the course of their lives (25k a year)
however, if i were to start my own company or get in good with an existing firm, i could make any amount per year as an individual (as opposed to as part of an average figure that spans millions of positions) with whatever degree i do or don't have. plenty of people strike it big on their own with no college, and plenty of people graduate from a top school to make 35,000 a year. generally speaking, though, you are more likely to be considered for the higher paying jobs if you are backed by an education (though, in sales, 250k a year is a very obtainable salary with very little education - if you're good at it)
also, most of those figures consider trade school as college (cosmotology, auto technitions, nurses, etc. 1-2 year degrees with jobs afterwords that'll pay 40-85k/yr.. more than most entry level jobs after a 4 year college)
personally, i'm in school right now just so i'm not immediately disconsidered for a job later in life.. but i'll probably end up doing something totally different than what i'm in school for. school is a hell of an investment in making yourself a more rounded person.. but the jury (for me..) is still out on whether it will pay off financially or not
if you are looking for a more concise answer, try salary.com and check the salary of a field your interested in around your area with and without a college degree |

There is not much of a demand for young adults with just a High school education. Most college graduates will start out of college with a higher yearly salary than you will probably ever be able to achieve after working some where for 10 and you will be reaching the top pay in your field. In other words they will make more money in the first ten years after graduating from college than you will in a lifetime and not to mention the benefits and retirement plans available to them. |

Well, usually people who graduate can spell "people".
HS grads make quite a bit less than those who have advanced degrees. I don't remember exact stats but it is very significant.
At the very least, to make a decent living HS grads should get a trade (e.g. skilled trade like plumber, electrician). Not having a marketable skills/profession vastly affects one ability to do well. |

It all depends on what field they work in, but generally speaking, PEOPLE who have an education usually make more than people who don't.
There are of course cases where people who didn't go to school do very, very well. The actor, Mark Wahlberg was just on TV last night on a talk show talking about how he never finished school, but he had a God given talent for acting so he did well. This can apply to any field...some people just have a gift for certain businesses and can do well whether they went to school or not.
But, sometimes it's better to get that education (and learn how to spell) so it'll be easier to get your foot in the door. |

it is significant. you need at least a BA to even have a job where you set in a chair now. |

Household income also increased significantly with the educational attainment of the householder. The US Census Bureau publishes educational attainment and income data for all households with a householder who was aged twenty-five or older. The biggest income difference was between those with some college education and those who had a Bachelor's degree, with the latter making $23,874. more. Income also increased substantially with increased post-secondary education. While the median household income for a household with a household holding an Associates degree was $51,970, the median household income for those with a Bachelor's degree or higher was $73,446. Those with doctorates had the second highest median household with a median of $96,830; $18,289 more higher than that for those at the Master's degree level, but $3,170 lower than the median for households with a professionals degree holding householder. |

The wage difference among people who graduate and people who don't isn't nearly as high as the difference between people who know how to spell "difference" and "people" and people who don't. There's an automatic spell check on this website for crying out loud. |

Graduation is an improvement or value addition that you achieve in your life during the course of education, employment and till the end of your lifetime.
If you are asking about education then my answer will be yes. There is a significance difference (now a days) in money you make through your employment. As graduation is meant to be a basic qualification now a days to differentiate one person from another, along with expertise and experience, so the answer is YES. |

I haven't the statistical data comparing income of graduates versus non-graduates (I assume you mean graduating from high school), but I strongly believe that being able to spell will make you more attractive to a potential employer. Illiteracy doesn't pay well in the workforce. Learn to spell, stay in school. Get your high school diploma or G.E.D. at the very least. It is very important. If you choose to drop out of school, you will regret it. |

It doesnt matter, if you ask that question to a drug dealer you know who is going to win but who is going to live longer and peacefully? |

they are just statistics. This will not predict your own earnings. They take millions of people and average it out. There are lots of variance from one person to the next. |

Apparently, you didn't graduate from any schooling. |

The answer depends on how much formal education you achieve (i.e., H.S. diploma vs. bachelors vs. masters vs. doctorate).
If you seriously want to know the answer, this link will take you to a Bureau of labor Statistics report on the issue.

P.S. There are returns on being educated other than just financial rewards. My college education fundamentally transformed my life and continues to pay off because I learned HOW to learn, and I continue to learn as a result. Recent research also shows a link between education and health outcomes (e.g., lower heart attack risk). |

If it's high school it's about $200,000 in a lifetime. If it's college it is a lot higher. |
