The Value of Higher Education for Career Growth
In the not-so-distant past, college was seen as an unassailable path to landing a good job – a golden ticket to higher salaries, future promotions, and a middle- to upper-class lifestyle. However, an increasing number of Americans are calling into question the value of higher education at all levels. Is it worth the cost? Does it guarantee job offers? Will career growth stall without it?

But the evidence is clear: Higher education and continuing education still provide an excellent return on investment for most students.
