Bet on Post-Secondary Education if...You want to increase your opportunities to find (and keep) work that is meaningful and pays more.
| Important Stats |
Keep in mind that education after high school doesn’t always mean a Four-Year Degree (although it certainly can). There are loads of other options, such as Community College, Technical Schools, and Vocational Training. Heck, even Internships and Apprenticeships can count as education. The important point to keep in mind when determining which educational path is right for you is the cost (in terms of money and time) versus the benefits. Oh, and make sure your education will get you into the career you want. |
| Pros |
Opportunities. That’s the key word when talking pros of post-secondary education. Just a few numbers that will go up significantly with more education include average salary, chance of being employed, and amount of benefits provided. If that’s not enough, one number that will go down is the chance you will end up in jail. |
| Cons |
With cons, we are pretty much talking investment: time and money. Education beyond high school is going to take both, but if you crunch the numbers, it is probably worth it. |
