although the vote is 19-4 in favor fo experince, salary says otherwise
The average salary of a 2016 college graduate is expected to be roughly 50k.
Which is roughly the average salary of, say, an apprentice plumber. 4 years into plumbing, at the same time the college graduates are getting their 50k jobs, you would be making 80k or even significantly more.
Edit: Note that I'm talking about people who enter the job market, and particularly trades right out of high school versus going to college.
