Seems low

Lots of people that go to school and get productive degrees pay for it themselves as they come from good homes or work full time while going to school (me) and the final bucket get scholarships.

that's nonsense...no one has claimed that

i put my kids through college without recourse to student loans

the Nepalese janitor in my building is putting his daughter through college with the help of student loans...i'm glad they have recourse to that and the data show that on average such loans and other educational subsidies are a very good investment by society

[thethe]

I never claimed that all high wage earners are college graduates.

My claim has been that if you look at money going into the system and money coming out, college grads as a group contribute more than they put in. In effect subsidies to education are self funding.

And those who are not college grads are net recipients of fiscal transfers. As a group they live off the generosity and kindness of our society. Many of them do not like to have that pointed out because it doesn't jive with the self-image they have constructed for themselves.

However, there are obvioulsy some people without college degrees who have very high incomes and some college grads who are riding the wagon while whining with the other whiners.

Yes you did

any guesses as to how this will go?
