This line is only made bold and thick by science and business students' later income and earnings. If you study art, music, writing, literature, philosophy, etc, your income level will be remarkably similar to the rest of the non-college crowd (probably far less than the trade school crowd, in fact).
The statistics are skewed because of the high incomes available to people with advanced degrees in science and business related fields. The arts and humanities are not a meal ticket in the slightest, and your best hope there is to stay in the vacuum of academia, where you can be paid to pass your esoteric knowledge on to a new generation of hapless, fresh-faced teens who have yet to face the demon known as Academic Disillusionment.
With any luck, you might get to sleep with a few of them at least.
