Layne Potts · Answer 1

30,000 per year annual income by a non-college educated man or woman

30% of 30,000. is 9,000. more every year for the college educated man or woman.

If a person works 30 years at his or her career making 9,000. more annually then they will have earned 30 times 9,000. or 270,000. more than the non-educated individual.

Dakota Cherry · Answer 2

30,000 (40) = 1200000 1200000 (.3) = 360000 $360000 more
