This ABCNews video shows women who are under 30, unmarried, with no children, earn an average of 8% more than their counterpart. In New York City, young women make 17% more. This could be explained by the fact that there are more female than male college graduates, with a ratio of 3:2. A college graduate earns almost $30,000 more than a high school graduate.

It is with time and networks that we ultimately find out what is right for ourselves. Even though college students do work hard in their undergraduate years in hopes of getting that dream job, we must understand that we will not start at the very top right out of school.
