A College Degree Can Increase Income Up to $2,000,000 in a Lifetime (According to the US Census Bureau)
Accelerated Degrees, also known as Associate's to Bachelor's, allow those holding associate degrees to earn their bachelor's in as little as twelve months. A completed bachelor's degree will help increase your income potential and marketability in today's job market. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, bachelor's degree holders earn nearly double what high school diploma holders earn and over 30 percent more than associate's degree holders during their working lifetime.
Some degrees are a step back. Thinking of a master's degree in a liberal arts or social sciences field? Let's hope you're in it for the love of learning, because on average there doesn't seem to be any financial payoff.

When i went to uni i thought that in the long term it would lead me to a great career in which i would make lots of money. 3 years later i am at tech doing an NVQ and am ten grand in debt... so it obviously hinders you in the short term. I think what really matters is that you choose a course that takes you into a job. Otherwise its basically a pissabout!
