Higher
Education
 Continuing
your education will help you to greatly increase your earning
potential! Consider this - a person with a
bachelor's degree will earn nearly $1
million more during his or her lifetime than a
high school graduate. The 2000 Census Bureau survey
indicates that a college graduate can
expect to make $2.1 million working full-time between the age of 25
and 64. A person with a master's degree
is expected to make $2.5 million, while someone with a professional
degree, such as a lawyer or doctor, is expected to earn $4.4 million
over their working life. According to the bureau report, a
high school graduate can expect to make $1.2 million over the same
time period. These figures mean that investing in a degree or
some sort of professional certification
is probably one of the best investments you can make! Plus,
you should keep in mind that these figures are based on 1999
salaries and that as salaries increase over time it is likely that
the gap between the earning potential of degree holders and
non-degree holders will only increase.
