Anticipated change in income related to schooling?

[rhp]

I should be graduating college with a new degree in December. Do I list this as an anticipated increase in income on Schedule I? Or even mention it at all? I'm sure it will take some time to land a job as a new grad, in a new field, in this economy. Don't want to look like I'm hiding anything, but not sure I'll be making any money "within the year after filing."

You would not list it because its not income you are earning currently. FWIW, just because one may have a degree doesnt mean the "high paying" job is there; there are many degree'd individuals that cannot find jobs in this economy.

Thanks. I kind of figured.
