I think it's much higher than that.
Those average annual wages for college grads appear to be a bit low.

So if you paid teachers more...you are guaranteed to get better teachers? So some of the engineers, doctors, lawyers, etc. would choose to teach instead of their current careers if teaching paid more? I'm not so sure. Teaching is a skill. You can have a brilliant mind and not be able to teach a kindergarten kid to tie his shoe.

That 100K figure is over the course of 4 years, and MOST of the time is helped funded by grants or student loans that have to be paid back over time.
Please tell us where an 18 year old will come up with 100K to go invest.

You don't think teachers are paid well for the amount of time they work?
And LOL at the poster earlier for the scenario where a high school graduate has $100,000 in cash in the bank to invest

Weird that they lump architects and engineers together. I've read some articles recently that said architecture is a relatively low paying job considering the difficulty/education required.

Cue the people saying it's near the bottom because it's full of incompetent whiners who couldn't do anything else.
Teaching is a difficult job, but the education degree itself is pretty damn easy to attain. That figures as much into it as anything. It's one of the easiest degrees out there.

Well if you invest 25k a year from 18-22 the #s are basically the same.

Obviously this scenario is only possible if the kid has responsible parents that saved for his or her college education.

I love how this is a Georgetown study. The cost of attending there would sure as shite eat up some of that $1 million.

The architects I've known aren't doing great unless they own their own firm or make principal/partner in the firm they work for. Have a good architect buddy that left the firm he worked for shortly bf making principal to work for a family contracting business that he'll eventually do very well with. Plenty of $ to be made in construction biz with the right companies.
