The on-line magazine Good has published an infographic comparing the earnings differences between those with high school degrees (or less) to those with college degrees (or higher). We have covered this same topic before in a previous post with a different infographic. In both cases, I think that there are better ways to present the data.

A lot is made of the earnings gap between those who graduate from high school versus those who graduate from college. And for good reason: Over the course of a lifetime, projected income between the two groups ranges anywhere between $500,000 to more than $1 million. But even in a lackluster economy, the general consensus is that college graduates still fare better than those with only a high school diploma. We wanted to examine whether more degrees actually beget more money—and if so, precisely how much.
