How much is your degree worth?

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2005), with the following degrees, here is how much you can expect to make in your lifetime:

  • Doctors Degree: US$ 4,400,000
  • Masters Degree: US$ 2,500,000
  • Bachelors Degree: US$ 2,100,000

Big bang for associate degree

Now that you know all that, here’s what I came up with (using a “discount rate” of 5% for you detail bugs who care) for the increase in lifetime income from a two-year degree:

Associate degree
Payoff hits triple digits for some
Average $116,550 Liberal arts $63,667
Business $92,908 Social science $79,013
Computers $148,695 Science $104,521
Engineering $192,660

As you can see, the average increase in income from an associate degree, compared to what a high-school graduate would get, is about $116,550 today. Subtract the average cost of tuition and books at a two-year school — about $2,500 — and you’re way, way ahead. AA degrees in engineering and computers have the biggest payoff.

Present Value Increases:

Bachelor’s degree
Lifetime gain can be huge
Average $308,588 Liberal arts $243,883
Business $349,028 Social science $210,080
Computers $443,180 Science $283,286
Engineering $497,930 Education $108,461
Master’s degree
A mixed result
Average $180,010 Social science Less than 0
Business $375,780 Science $136,873
Engineering $362,092 Education $106,388
Liberal arts Less than 0
Professional degree
Big-time payoff
Average $716,927
Law $748,865
Medicine $977,601
The PhD
Science pays more
Average $187,920
Science $299,190

Memyari

80′s:
mid 80s - tri goda zhili v Vengrii s roditeliami, gde ia nauchilsia plavat’ v… termal’nih baniah iz mineral’noi vodi; samoie iarkoie vpechatlenie detstva – ostrov Margita v Budapeshte, vezde zima i gori snega, a tam nebol’shoi vodopad iz termal’noi vodi, i ozero s kotorogo zimoi valit par, i v nem rastut kuvshinki, i kak ni v chem ne bivalo plavaut zolotie ribki. Okazivaietsa est’ takaia vesch’ kak detskaia nevinnost’!
End of 80′s – pristraivaiut menia v Kieve v horoshuu secondary school s uklonom angliskovo, odnoi iz nashih uchilok bila zhena pervogo sekretaria comm-partii Ukraini. Kievski metrostroi schelkaiet pal’tsami, i nam v shkolu privoziat dva klassa novih computerov (80286)
{Modern Talking, Sandra, Bad Boys Blue}

90s:
’90 – kak viyasnil esche idon trip v Budapesht, vodopad i ozero okazivaietsa obichnim zabroshenim fontanom, ribok navernoie poimali i svarili – u menia duhovnaia isterika :)
end of ’90 – pervaia sobaka, vel’shterier, kotoraia spustia goda poltora tragicheski pogibaiet pod avtobusom
’91 – Guten Tag Germany! school exchange, live in a family – pervi urok istorii na praktike, i poniatie chto exchange rate of communism to capitalism is far from favourable :)
{“Soul Asylum – Runaway Train”; diskman repeat = on}

’91 – pervaia i edinstvennaia poezdka v Moskvu, trofei: suhoputnaia cherepaha (Masha) i nabor Uniy Himik, kotori do 94 mutiruet i pererastaiet v polovinu balkona zaniatuu himikatami, a druguu – steklom i drugim himicheskim oborudovaniem. Pogliadivaia na konteiner v kotorom hranitsa nitroglitserin, pitaius’ otognat’ misl’ chto esli neakkuratno siadet ptichka, to balkon vmeste s polovinoi zdania mogut obrushitsa.
{Masha skrebetsa v korobke}

~’92-93 - nasha komanda zanimaiet pervoie mesto v Kieve (iz 17 komand), i vtoroie mesto po Ukraine (zhuri bilo podkupleno!!) v teleperedache Klass Unior Business, eto pohozhe na KVN s business uklonom. Priz – poezdka v pioner lager’ Molodaia Gvardiya, i u nih ne bilo koordinatov raboti moih roditelei (osnovnoi istochnik “pistonov”). V 15 minutah “Privoz” (Odesski rinok), s kotorogo periodicheski obratno v lager’ puteshestvovali trehlitrovie banki s pivom  :) Chtobi kompensirovat’ uscherb dlia zdorovia, plavanie i tantsi do 5am pod Karman. Uverenimi cherepashimi shagami rozhdaietsa umenie tantsevat’ i improvizirovat’ na dance floor.
{more Karman}

‘mid 92-94:
- reperitor po matematike – dva goda every Saturday (92-94). Naraschivaiem seroie veschestvo, i vspominaietsa chto govorila uchitel’nitsa po russkomu: mozg eto organ, a mozgi eto bludo
- reperitor po fizike – god every Saturday (93-94)
- podgotovitel’nie kursi (fizika, matematika) – 3x v nedeliu po 3 chasa (93-94). V uchebnike Skanavi netu ni odnogo zhivovo mesta, zadachi v ostal’nih uchebnikah tozhe issiakli’, prepodavateliam prihoditsa pridumivat’ ih samim
{2Unlimited, Ace of Base, Capella}

’94:
- postupau v kievski institut inzhinerov grazhdanskoi aviatsii, i uchus’ tam rovno god. Other names: KIIGA, KMUTSA, KDUTSA (Kyivskiy Derzhavniy Universitet  TSivil’noi Aviatsii)
- menia izbiraut komandirom potoka, za to chto pochti vsem pomogau sdelat’ assignments po programmirovaniu, menia druzhno i do poslednei kapli krovi prikrivaiut. Rezul’tat – 30% poseschenie, i sredniaia otsenka 4.5/5
{Pet Shop Boys}

’95:
- immigratsiya v Kanadu, paru mesiatsev posle priezda – $5 v karmane i to chto odeto na mne, i pozhalui vse – ni obrazovania, ni professii; doma roditeli having arguments over usual immigration life stuff; ideal’noie izobrazhenie of PSM (poor, smart and motivated)
……….
……….
’08:
- 26 countries visited (i tselih 4 dolgih dnia do otpuska); neukrotimoie zhelanie puteshestvovat’ stanovitsa vse sil’nee
- >500 connections on LinkedIn, > 250 on Facebook; and only 5 people I consider my close friends
- dva most valuable (complex * useful) obrazovania; poslovitsa “uchenie svet, a neuchenie chut’ svet i na rabotu” otkazivaietsa rabotat’!
- tri designations, esche odna v puti; yrraa – teper’ oni dlinnee chem moie imia, people can start calling me not by my name, but by 1-877-pmp-cisa (available)
{Newage: Oliver Shanti, Era, Ademius}
