Chump change, because it's so far in the future - plus you have to be working instead of (insert: golfing, fishing, hunting, etc.) to get it. Figure out the net present value of putting off upgrade for three years, then putting off getting your first job at a major for three years, then putting off upgrade again...and so on. The guys that are in the jobs now get an extra 2-5 years in the job, everyone else will get the same number of years, just at a later time in life. It takes a surprisingly small income loss early in your career to wipe out that dream amount at the end.
