The presented graph provides information about the amount of weekly income of graduates, with different degrees and ages, in 2002.
Overall, the lowest amount of money earned by the youngest people in all three different types of degrees. Although the earned money of all graduates consistently increased by the age of 38, the trend was different for older individuals, based on their type of degree.
The weekly income of the youngest graduates, 21 to 25 years old, was from 350 for first degrees to 420 for other degrees. The earned money then increased steadily for all degrees until the age of 38 years old, reaching 820, 700 and 695 for other degrees, higher degree, and first degree, respectively.
However, graduates of other degrees, who had earned higher money compared to other groups, experienced downward trend for ages more than 38, ending up at around 690 for people of 60 years old, that was a little higher than first degree and around 90 lower than higher degree. Although the income of first degree graduates remained relatively steady for individuals older than 38, the amount of earning increased dramatically for higher degree graduates with the age of 52 and more, reaching 790 for the oldest age group.
