19. Rule #1: Degree Level Matters Lifetime earnings –HS Dropout - $973,000 –HS Diploma - $1.3 million –Some college – no degree - $1.5 million –Associate’s Degree - $1.7 million –Bachelor’s Degree - $2.3 million –Master’s Degree – $2.7 million –Doctoral Degree - $3.3 million Disclaimer : Occupations can trump degree levels. People with less education can sometimes out-earn people with more because of occupational differences. This is especially true in STEM.
