“This one step-choosing a goal and sticking to it-changes everything.” ~Scott Reed~
Having a college education can mean so many different things, to so many different people. One may not even really begin to grasp the importance and impact it may have on one’s life. Until you take that step into reaching your goal. A college education can either mean the start of a new career. It can allow you to be able to accelerate in the field that you’re currently in. Or maybe just freshen up on some rusty areas. One must be willing to stay focus and dedicated to achieving their goals in life.
People with a college education can earn more money on average than people that don’t have a college education. This is no secret but it does show how important college education is today, but for those that don’t think earning more money is enough, the following are some reasons why college education is important. * Skills for Today’s Jobs: Have More Options- Today, more jobs than ever before require specialized training or a two-or four-year college degree. More education means more opportunities for you. * Job Security: Keep Working- Your high school diploma is useful. But a college degree increases your chances of employment by nearly 50%. * More Benefits: Get the Important Extras- There’s more to a job than a paycheck. Jobs for college graduates typically offer more and better benefits than jobs requiring just a high school diploma. These can include health insurance and retirement plans you may not get at lower-skill jobs.
Why college education is important to me? A college education is important to me for many reasons. Having a college education opens the doorway for many opportunities in my life. It gives me the chance to not only better my life, but the lives of my children as well. A college education is not only important to me but, it gives me the chance
