I'm guessing it's a typo, otherwise everyone would be doing it.

What a coincidence. That's how much I make.

I'm sure it increases exponentially.

I'm reminded of a quote from Orange County where Colin Hanks lists three people who got rich being writers and John Lithgow replies, "Three people, in *all* of literature!"

I'm not the one who's an English major. I'm Marketing and Film, which probably means the same thing.

I would believe it.

That's the problem with using averages.

All you need is a handful of people like Michael Chabon selling books to major publishers before they graduate to throw things off.

I'm willing to bet the median English major income is $, not $$$.

well durh

it's the example that if bill gates walks into the homeless shelter, what's the effect on the mean/median income level


^and theres no way that even if there are a few major outliers, that this avg would be right... even with a few multimillionaires thrown in. the population size is too large.
