Invest in Your Education, Even if You Already Have a Job

Even if you already have a job, investing in your education has its benefits. Launch a new or better career, improve your advancement potential, or earn more money. Just how much more?

According to US Census data, the average bachelor's degree holder earns an average of $20K more each year than those with high school diplomas alone. Those with advanced degrees, such as master's degrees, can expect to do even better, earning nearly $30K/year more than bachelor's degree holders each year, and a whopping $50K/year more than high school diploma holders. That means that whichever degree you earn, your increased salary will likely offset its cost in a short period of time.

Education Easier to Manage for Working Adults

Education may have its benefits, but it's still an investment of time. Fortunately, technological advances make earning your degree easier to manage than ever, even if you're working full-time or supporting a family. Online degree programs are booming, but in number and credibility. Many are accredited, and most allow you to work whenever and wherever you can. Even campus-based programs typically cater to a working adult's schedule, offering night and weekend courses.

Why You Should Search Beyond Your College Job Board

Many colleges and universities have a local job board which lists internships and entry level jobs. While this may be a good starting point in your job search, do not rely on it exclusively in your job search. Learn more about searching beyond your College Job Board.
