Why Go to College?

While it is not impossible to find a job without a college degree, it has and will continue to become increasingly difficult to find a job without a college degree. As a college student, you are in complete control of your academic journey and success.

Below are some reasons college is a goal that's worth working toward.

1. More Career Opportunities

College Graduates see 57% more job opportunities than high school graduates. It was also predicted by 2020, that 2/3 of jobs will require a post secondary degree.

2. Greater Income

Statistics show that four-year college graduates earn almost twice as much money as high school graduates, meaning 1,000,000 dollars or more over one's lifetime.

3. Opportunities to Develop and Grow

College is a fresh start! You will have the space and opportunity to become the person you aspire to be.

4. Personal Accomplishment

Finishing what you started, especially something as a difficult as a four year degree, is something that you will be proud of for the rest of your life.
