Answer It would depend on the field of work that was chosen by the higher educated person and also where either of you worked. I've seen cases where people have had a colledge education and make less money than a high school grad, just becasue the high school grad go the better job. Maybe that person knew somone who could get him or her into a company, without a college diploma. You can't base what education levels pay unless you know what field of work you will be doing.

For each year shown between 1980 and 2005, earnings for young adults increased when education level increased. For example, young adults with at least a bachelor's degree consistently had higher median earnings than those with less education. This pattern generally held for male, female, White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian subgroups. Moreover, for the entire population and generally for each subgroup, the difference between the earnings of those with at least a bachelor's degree and those with less education grew during this period. For example, males with a bachelor's or higher degree earned 19 percent more than male high school completers1 in 1980 and 64 percent more than male high school completers in 2005 During the period between 1980 and 2005, earnings fluctuated among those with at least a bachelor's degree and decreased among those with less education, thus contributing to the growth in the median income gap. For example, the earnings of those with a high school diploma1 decreased by $5,600 between 1980 and 2005, while the earnings of those with a bachelor's or higher degree increased by $2,300. 1Includes those who earned a high school diploma or equivalent (e.g., a General Educational Development [GED] certificate).

Answer 4

Generally, college graduates earn higher wages (and sometimes much higher) than non-college graduates because of the increased knowledge and skills that they have acquired due to their collegiate studies. College degrees offer employers the assurance that college graduates have faced definable challenges, studied certain topics, and gained employable tools of one sort or another.

Information on potential earnings are subjective and biased, depending on too many variables (the specialty, the economy, the job market, qualification, interview technique, the individual, the location). Try the related links for biased information.
