How Much Is Your Education Worth

When it comes to your earning power, your education is the most important thing you can do. And searching for trade school degrees can help you along the way. The more education you have, the better your chances of earning more "lifetime" income.

• Did you know that the average "lifetime" earnings of a person with a 4 year trade school degrees is about $1,000,000 more than the earnings of a high school graduate; $800,000 more than a person with an AA degree?
• Did you know that earning your Masters Degree increases your lifetime earnings by about $500,000?
• And, an Associate Degree will provide an additional $300,000 more than the high school graduate!

Take a look at the chart below. Here, you will see the average annual earning power for different age groups by education achieved. The information comes from data gathered during the U.S. 2000 census. College-degrees-search.com has compiled the data into an easy to read graph. Not surprising, "professionals" (doctors, dentists, lawyers, and some engineers) receive the highest annual income.

Although the data covers an average of all persons, irrespective of gender, race or location, notice that those with trade school degrees or better, including trade school degrees, increase in annual income as age increases. In contrast, those with lower achieved education appear to plateau at an early age. That is because the job skills of a poorly educated person do not change very much as age increases. Therefore, older persons are unable to attain higher incomes as long as there are younger people willing to take the job for less. More income is attained when job skills are improves either through education or job experience.
