Bear in mind this is 20 years and not lifetime earnings. Many studies have come out that across majors lifetime earnings are anywhere from USD 300k to USD 1 million higher than those with only a high school diploma.[1]

Also the payscale report may not be peer-reviewed, which should give caution when going against many peer-reviewed studies on the subject.
