I would have to agree that some of the data is irrelevant to the question “Is college worth it?”

For example in 2006, the median salary of a male with an HS diploma was 30,000, and it was 50,000 for a male with a degree. In light of that I think college is worth it. All they give is the income for people with college degrees. How does that help us make a decision?

Also the comment about the Yale grad taking 17 years to make up the difference, I plan on working for 40ish years give or take a little. That does not phase me.
