University Graduates

Average profit for college graduates vs. university, vs. high school only?

I am doing a data management project comparing the success rate of people who graduate college, university and high school. I was wondering where i could find some info on this subjects. Any suggestions would be great.

  1. Here are some good sites I found. You can also look under periodicals at a university. http://www.ericdigests.org/2003-3/value.htm and here is another site http://www.ysu.edu/facstaff/ofc/reports_and_resolutions/gradincome.html http://www.nasfaa.org/Annualpubs/Journal/Vol37N1/Kantrowitz.PDF
  2. If you mean income levels (success is measured many ways) then this information is readily available. The Census has all sorts of stats you can use to do your own research but there's plenty online that's already done for you. http://factfinder.census.gov/home/saff/main.html?_lang=en http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/40/Figure01-earnings_by_degree.gif http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9d/Education_Income_Sex.jpg
  3. Not really, it's up to the employer. Government gives higher GS ratings if you have college and apply for a job that requires that college. At retail stores you go in entry level stock clerk while if you have a BA degree you can go in as a manager traniee and become an assistant manager at twice the pay. Typically it is specialty jobs that require a specific degree. 1 year CNA course 18 month Therapist course AS Nursing, BS Nursing, Inhilation therapist, occupational therapist. An orderly at a hospital would go in entry level and if you go to school for the CNA program you can be upgraded and get a raise, if you become an AS nurse you can get another raise. My Uncle went up from like 17K to 21K when he got is AS nursing long long ago.
