The degree price seems low (based on my own research for myself). Also, the cost of interest doesn't appear to be included. Noticeably absent is how much cheaper similar degrees are in other countries (based on the fact that my husband can and did get the exact same degree at a much cheaper price than I could). WT, I am noticing a trend in your posts....are you a shill for unis?

Also absent....the fact that so many college grads can't get a decent job these days, and it doesn't mention the TYPE of degree.

The numbers are quite skewed because some college graduates earn a ridiculous amount of money and while some people without college degrees earn a good amount, other than athletes and a few guys like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, most people without a college degree don't do so well.

One million dollars over the course of a career 40+ years really isn't all that much. Maybe $25,000 a year more. Considering how skewed the numbers are, for the average college graduate the difference probably isn't much.

And, when you look at people like Gates and Jobs, you start to realize that aptitude has a lot more to do with it than education.

I know a ton of people right now making less than $30,000 a year with a bachelor's degree. Hint: Take a look in the mirror.
