“The Harvard graduate on average will never catch up to a plumber,” Bloomberg said. “Partially because the first four years — instead of spending $60,000, you make $60,000.”
I agree with him on this. I know there are quite a few people on here with computer related jobs and I'm sure you would agree that while you can make decent money the cost of schooling is becoming more and more ridiculous and even after graduating with a Bachelors or Masters you still could have your job outsourced.
One other thing about plumbing, you can't outsource it to India.
The numbers disagree. The last time I looked a Harvard MBA starts on average at $150,000. And over a lifetime total salaried earned is always higher proportionately with more college.
On a personal note, I am programmer, and during the last 6 years my employee downsized and dropped a 10% salary cut across the board. During each layoff I remained when more experienced and more seniority people did not. The primary reason was my master's degree. Not that it made me better, it made me more marketable to clients.
