I was, however, surprised that the difference between a high school diploma and no diploma was so slim. Central has a chart similar to this hanging up in their financial aid office but it breaks down the occupations and it is very interesting also.Swayzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033644532315954017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20882334.post-65113278325507732442011-03-10T20:54:43.113-08:002011-03-10T20:54:43.113-08:00That's crazy!

Having been in the private sector previously, I can attest to the fact of wage lowering and position cuts along with heaping more and more responsibilities on a person at the same time. Unfortunately, many employers know there is a long line of people waiting to come in and replace somebody and most are willing to try it for less money.Dave M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09566103318093787819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20882334.post-57418133528960329152011-03-10T20:31:49.582-08:002011-03-10T20:31:49.582-08:00I think this is a really good chart because it ins...I think this is a really good chart because it inspire more students to pursue a college degree. When the students will look at this chart, they will be shocked to see the difference between the salary. But the only thing that i didn't like was that the students with some college degree also have to suffer in this kind of economy.Gaganjit Khindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291466074747339201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20882334.post-35058813862240463172011-03-10T17:57:04.341-08:002011-03-10T17:57:04.341-08:00I seriously think that there should only be 2 year...I seriously think that there should only be 2 years of high school so that people could start going to college earlier. Or there would still be 4 years, but the last 2 are mandatory to go to college. Kind of like Running Start, but Running Start is a choice, this would actually be part of the school system. That'd be awesome.Diana.Blizzardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18284863055625560240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20882334.post-42001184014831927852011-03-09T21:59:45.486-08:002011-03-09T21:59:45.486-08:00I agree that what was most shocking about this gra...I agree that what was most shocking about this graph was the slim margin between those with and without only a high school degree.
