How to earn more and get more respect
It is a well known fact that more education leads to better pay. But the question that often is in people’s heads is “How do I get out of my current rut? I don’t have the time or the money to go back to school.” Did you know that people who earn a bachelor degree can earn an extra $1 million dollars more in a lifetime than a person with just a high school diploma?* US Census Bureau 2001 This could mean boosting your lifetime earnings by 33%. In the past a Bachelor degree would take 4 years of your time. Today, these degrees can be done in as little as 18 months if you have previously earned credits. However, before choosing a new degree, we recommend you research all of your options and find the program/degree that is best for your work schedule and personal life. Right now over 26% of Americans had a Bachelor’s degree. This has been a rising trend since the late 80’s. Why is it rising? One of the main factors is that lower paying factory jobs have moved away from America to lower cost regions like Asia. This means the jobs left in America are more focused on services which require computer skills and communication skills. How does a person get the right skills in today’s market?
