The median first salary for every discipline after undergrad is sub-$100k (fig 7).

I guess you just think college as a whole is worthless.

I think one would need to look at salary over the course of the time to pay off a loan, and also the overall distribution of salary and not just median. I'm sure there are many out there with more than $50k in loans, now making $110k per year. I'm sure there are many out there who started off making $80k, now making $100k or more a few years later.
