Is College Worth it?


Cost vs. Rewards of Higher Education
Does education pay off? The answer is a resounding "yes." Statistics indicate college graduates earn more than those without a college degree.* In fact, statistics show that future job opportunities will also favor those with a college education and specialized training.

You can help your children take advantage of these opportunities by encouraging early career planning to identify career choices that match their talents, abilities, interests and goals. The optimum time to start career planning is in high school with career research, work experience and careful course selection. Encourage your children to:

bulletVisit companies and interview professionals in diverse fields.
bulletRead books about different careers
bulletInvestigate colleges and schools that offer programs for various career paths
bulletParticipate in summer internship programs. 
bulletLook for part-time summer jobs in occupations of interest
bulletTake accelerated classes in math, science, language and English.

Employment Shift
There has been a shift in employment from goods-producing to service-oriented professions.   This is due to advances in technology

The U.S. Department of Labor states the fastest growing jobs will be in executive, managerial, professional and technical fields, requiring the highest levels of education and skill. Changes in consumer demand and an increase in imports are expected to stagnate many occupations that require little formal education (i.e.:helpers, laborers, assemblers and machine operators).

Clearly, college graduates and those completing specialized educational programs will have the advantage in tomorrow's economy.
