Hello, again and for the last time. I’ve really enjoyed enlightening all my loyal followers over the past three months, but all good things must come to an end. So, on with the show. I read Unique’s blog once again and I happen to disagree with her stance on the topic of advanced education. I disagree with her opinion on how a Bachelors Degree is the same as a high school diploma. Now more than ever, every credential is a strong asset to have considering the poor economic times. Although as Unique stated that entry level jobs are available for graduates equally to non-graduates, the benefit of a degree results in future promotions and upper management positions. Also, in a competitive job market, with a degree employers view your work ethic and problem solving skills to be a greater advantage to their company’s success.
According to 2006 statistics, in a lifetime a person with a bachelor’s degree earns on average $67,766 than someone that does not complete college. Bachelor degree recipients earn over 60% of non-graduates. Even an associate’s degree increases overall salary by 20% in ones lifetime. Job security and advancement are two of the most important reasons, in my opinion, that a college investment is critical to ones future growth.
College enforces the ideas of discipline and rewarding effort. Also, learning different ideas and concepts and repeatedly applying them to specific projects and tests are important skills to have in the real world. This gives a graduate a competitive edge to offer an employer. Employers hire people who have accomplished the task of earning a degree because they know that if that employee is focused and works hard enough through college then they will allocate the same efforts to the organizations success. It is critical to be able to provide confidence in the hiring and promoting manager’s decision by the simple fact that you worked hard achieve excellence.
