'Harm's Way'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I gotta say I'm pretty appalled at the male-female differences in a lot of theses. Women with advanced degrees make ten thousand dollars less than men with advanced degrees. Ouch.
... wait, unless you're a black male with an advanced degree. Who makes nine thousand dollars less than a hispanic male. WTF? How's that work?
'suela, I'm not sure.
If it makes anyone feel better, it's not whitey that makes the most.
Asian males no high school diploma NO DATA
Asian males w/ high school diploma $26,500
Asian males w/ college degree $51,300
Asian males w/ grad or professional degree $54,100
It must be the types of work these groups are also going into. I wish the College Board had statistics by major. For example, I would guess that math majors and engineering majors make significantly more than English majors. And I know many more male math/engineering types than female. So that could account for some of the gender (and ethnicity) differences.
eta The full study is here in the sidebar called Education Pays. (though it should be called Higher Education Pays.
Well, as a white female with a english lit and theatre degree, it seems to qualify you for being well-ish paid secretary or working in the arts. Although, my friends with math and engineering degrees are stay at home moms... I am not sure if the effects the average.

The one where the kid is staring at the flower? Lovely!
I'm interested in what's behind the difference between white females with no high school diploma and black females with no high school diploma. The black women are earning $2000 more.
(Stats about degrees get weird when you look at people with math degrees. It's one of the only fields -- I think computer science is one of the others -- where, on average, people with just a bachelor's degree earn more than people with an advanced degree.)
David, yes and no. As you can see, with other groups (especially hispanic females, but also white females and males) there is a big difference between a high school grad and not.
Yeah, those are interesting numbers. I would not have guessed Hispanic females without a H.S. diploma would be the lowest on the economic totem pole.
And white guys with a H.S. diploma make almost as much as a black female with a college degree. I'll have a side of pie with my male white privilege.
Those stats are fascinating. Guess it pays to be male.

I would guess because most of the people with advanced degrees are in higher ed, which does not pay as well as the private sector.

Exactly.
