The awful truth behind a cyclists paycheck…
October 26, 2006 7:50 amHere’s what a recent news report on AOL.COM had to say about the truth behind my paycheck:
“How much is a bachelor’s degree worth? About $23,000 a year, the government said in a report released Thursday.
That is the average gap in earnings between adults with bachelor’s degrees and those with high school diplomas, according to data from the Census Bureau.
College graduates made an average of $51,554 in 2004, the most recent figures available, compared with $28,645 for adults with a high school diploma. High school dropouts earned an average of $19,169 and those with advanced college degrees made an average of $78,093.
“There appear to be strong incentives to get a college degree, given the gaps that we observe,” said Lisa Barrow, senior economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.”
I’m speechless… all these years… long, hard, rough years. I’ve been chasing the wrong thing…
I think I’m going to listen to Lisa because I’d like “strong incentives” too.
All this time I thought it was better results that would help me to sign a more lucrative contract…… Shows what you get for thinking. I suppose, on the bright side, I’ll be 12 credits closer to a higher cycling paycheck come early December when the semester ends. I’ve got a mind like a steel trap you know.
Take care, and kids… please, whatever you do… hoard those credits like they’re going out of style.
Good bye for now.
