Origin Tutoring

The return

The math on a degree.

Tutoring is a cost today against an outcome years away. So here is the outcome, in Statistics Canada's numbers — what university graduates earn compared with high-school graduates, per hour, over a career, and when things don't go to plan.

Higher pay, every hour.

In 2024, employees with a bachelor's degree or higher earned an average of $44.67 an hour. Employees with a high school diploma earned $28.82. That gap applies to every hour of a working life.

Average hourly wage, 2024 — a 55% difference.

The gap compounds for twenty years.

Following the same graduates over two decades, Statistics Canada found that bachelor's degree holders earned a large multiple of what high-school graduates earned over the same twenty years — and the advantage was even larger for women than for men.

And a floor, not just a ceiling.

A degree isn't only about the best case — it protects the worst case. In 2024, just 9.2% of workers with a bachelor's degree or higher earned below Canada's low-pay threshold, compared with 36.0% of those with a high school diploma or less.

Figures are national averages across all fields of study; individual outcomes vary. We show them because the direction and the scale of the difference are consistent across decades of Canadian data.
