green scary calculator what will a degree cost, page-18

"A uni student, on average, will earn approx. $1 Million gross more than a worker who hasn't gone to uni."

Works out to be 20,000 a year more than non-studying peers assuming payments begin at 25 and one works to 70.

I'm sure this is somewhat skewed by the few who are on massive salaries, you also need to factor in the increased interest payments.

Still doesn't help with throwing such a large amount of debt on young Australian's.

It doesn't have to happen, there are no real benefits for it to happen and it shouldn't happen.
