Earning an associate degree is a great investment in your future, and it’s undoubtedly helped guide where you see yourself in the future. The question remains, do you have the skills and credentials for the career you want?
A bachelor’s degree is the logical next step for a number of reasons. Mainly, millions of jobs require one. According to a report by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce, there will be 55 million job openings in the U.S. economy through 2020, and 35% of those jobs will require at least a bachelor’s degree.
While some benefits of earning a bachelor’s degree include broadened skills and increased job marketability, earning potential comes to mind. Will paying for a degree be worth it in the long run? The answer, in general, is yes.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), those with a bachelor’s degree earn 40% more annually than associate degree graduates – and 67% more than those with only a high school diploma. Earning a bachelor’s degree can give you the salary bump that will make earning a bachelor’s degree – especially an affordable one – well worth the investment.
