Do this by taking 30% of 120k to find out how much more money you would make in comparison to a non-college grad, 120,000*.3=36,000. This means a college grad would make$36,000 more than a non-college grad.

30,000 per year annual income by a non-college educated man or woman
30% of 30,000. is 9,000. more every year for the college educated man or woman.
If a person works 30 years at his or her career making 9,000. more annually then they will have earned 30 times 9,000. or 270,000. more than the non-educated individual.

Earnings for 40 years without college are $30,000*40=$1,200,000
With college education you will earn $1,200,000*0.3=$360,000 more.
