What is the difference between College and Doctorate and Graduate and Post-Graduate ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.

I see some demographic graph and don't understand the difference of these.

Answers

These are all post-high school levels. Through high school, education is free in the US.
Since you refer to demographics, I think these are what you are looking at:
College-someone who has attended college or university, working towards a bachelor’s degree, but may not have graduated yet.
Graduate-someone who has earned a bachelor’s degree.
Post-graduate-someone who is seeking a higher degree after completing a bachelor’s degree. This is usually called a master’s degree but there are exceptions.
Doctorate is typically the highest degree earned in one’s field. It is not only for a medical doctor, but is often the level of education of university professors, researchers, and such.
If you have more context from the graph I could give you a more clear answer. These can have different distinctions that depend on what you are looking at.
