Education attained vs. earnings

This 2002 Census publication compares lifetime earnings based on education attained.  For example, an individual with a high school diploma would make about $30,000 (1999 dollars) average over a lifetime.  An individual with a Master’s degree can more than double that with an average annual income of $63,000.
