Assuming 40 years of work, $1.2 million for a college degree seems awfully low. According to the US Census , the average income for college-educated men is $88,000 and $58,000 for college-educated women. That translates to roughly $3.6 million in lifetime earnings for me and about $2.3 million for women. Thus, the chart dramatically underestimates the income differential.
