Can a college degree really make a difference?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Data consistently show that, on average, college graduates earn more money, experience less unemployment and have a wider variety of career options than other workers do. A college degree also makes it easier for jobseekers to enter many of the fastest growing, highest paying occupations.”*
*Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Quarterly, “The 2004-2014 Job Outlook for College Graduates.” Fall 2006, p. 43.
