More interesting stats

More from the Census bureau

25 to 34 year olds - just over a quarter have college or advanced degrees, but almost two thirds have some college experience. In no way, shape, or form do we represent a cross section of the US.

The other interesting observation is that as the population ages, the percentage of folks with a college degree (I’m including advanced degrees here) holds constant, but the percentage of advanced degrees continues to rise pretty sharply. Showing that there is a pretty strong correlation between lifetime learning and getting the first college sheepskin.
