In Switzerland, a postgraduate earns approximately 45,176 CHF a year.
In the United States, a postgraduate earns approximately $12,381 a year.
However, in the United States, postgraduates get to attend "Greek" parties every Friday evening, complete with champagne and naked co-eds covered in shaving foam.
Absinthe, however, is illegal.

After all, the Swiss still insist on being Swiss, despite the fact that it is banned.

Legal since 2007. I suppose Bush gets credit  ?
You can even get proper Swiss stuff from Val de Travers- real bleu
And a Dunhill pipe goes a long way toward compensating for Cuban cigars  .

ago.

At ordinary, small-town universities, such as Cornell or Harvard, a post-graduate can expect to earn approximately $12,381 a year, give or take a couple of "dimes" as Americans call their coins.
Trust me. I went there once. I know all about it. |

Trust me. I went there once. I know all about it.  | | | | | thanks for response , i am not sure where the access of your information was !
but what you said is almost like 1000 in a month ..! US is 3rd country with highest income exactly one after Switzerland but with big different in population ... so i am not very sure if 1`000 $ in a month it makes sense for someone with post-graduate degree!!

I'm terribly sorry, but this type of questions have been asked a billion times and honestly, there's a lot of links where you can get your information in just a few clicks. Just to explain my groan |

Remember that Americans don't use metric measures: this means that the average salary per month is over $203, which is more than enough for Reese's Cups and Lucky Charms.
Many post-graduates, however, supplement their incomes by working as "lot lizards". This is a highly specialised job which can be combined with daytime studies as it is largely nocturnal.
Some very famous Americans began their careers as lot lizards. I presume you've heard of Mel Gibson? He wasn't one, but lots of other people were.
Have you considered Poland? They pay in Zlotys, which have an eagle on them. I'd work there for that, wouldn't you?
