In real terms, due to their higher ranking and status at work, athletic students earned cumulative wages of $1.82 million over their career, peaking at $135,000 a year, while their non-athletic counterparts earned (a still sizable) $1.60 million in cumulative wages and $126,000 annually at their peak.

The article from AOL Finance discusses a study by the National Bureau of Economic Research which found that college athletes, particularly those in revenue-generating sports like football and basketball, tend to earn higher salaries later in life compared to their non-athlete peers. Contrary to the stereotype of athletes being less academically inclined, the research indicates that these athletes often benefit from the discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills developed through sports. The study suggests that these attributes translate into better job performance and higher earnings in the workforce. Additionally, the article highlights that the networking opportunities and visibility gained from college sports can also play a significant role in their career success. However, the piece also notes that this advantage is more pronounced among men and in certain sports, with less clear benefits for female athletes or those in non-revenue sports.
