Untrained workers begin at 14 earning under 1700 yearly, a high school graduate reaches 2800 at 50 and 88000 to 200000 by 60, while a college graduate starts at 22 and can earn 6000 to 8000 later, totaling 160000 to 200000 by age 60. The survey notes only 28 of 1000 grade school entrants reach college, citing lack of funds as the main barrier and endorses educational insurance to improve access.
