    I'm sure it does, but it shows median so it's not as skewed by higher earners

    Grossing ~92k this year with no diploma. The paradigm has shifted and the degrees are in a slump and the tradies are out earning the AS and BS and potentially some Master's degrees.

    If someone's parents went to a high dollar university and were members of a frat or sorority, chances are they get the high dollar job over others whether they are more qualified or not. This is how the system really works at the highest earning levels due to generational wealth networking.

    This is outdated propaganda. Many skilled trades average 6 figures.

    It says what they are in the right corner: Credentials for practicing specialized fields like medicine or law.

    Both your question and your anecdotal counterpoint really paint a picture, don't they?

    Maybe try googling “median” and then doing some critical thinking
