In general, the answer is yes. A college degree can dramatically increase your earning potential. And even if you don't wind up getting a degree, a college education can be valuable. However, you can also increase your earning potential by going to a trade or vocational school where you are only there to learn a specific field rather that all the other general education that comes with a college degree. Another benefit to a college degree is it can help you get a job even if the degree is in an unrelated field.

That being said, I read a statistic the other day that only about 1 in 4 adults has a 4 year degree or higher. That means there are still a lot of jobs out there for people without a college degree.

If you have the means and the desire to go to college, I would strongly recommend doing so. But there are other alternatives if you don't want to spend 4 years in college. Just keep in mind that a college degree only give more earning POTENTIAL. It is by no means a guarantee of a higher salary or a better job. I manage a movie theatre and make about 45K a year. There are many people with college degrees making less than that.

For the record, I have about 5 years of college education, I just never finished a degree.

I believe it is worth it to spend 4 years in college. The 4 years that I spent getting my Bachelors gave me time to think about what it was that I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Make sure you go to a physical university because online universities are a bunch of mess. What I am speaking of is I have been attending CTU-Colorado Technical University Online MBA Progam and I have been getting really good grades until my last 2 classes.

I thought about it why at the end of the progam would I be failing. I know why they want to gauge students for more money. At a 4 year University at least you know who you are speaking to if something like this happens to you. When taking these online quick courses it leaves you open to being misused.

So my answer is yes it is worth it to spend 4 years in college.
Good Luck!

It most certainly is. If you do a little research in peoples earnings/wages you will find that the more years of education you have the higher your earnings/wages.

If you don't think you are ready for a four year college try out a two year community college get your associates and hit the job market for a bit or transfer to a four year colleges.

I don't know how old you are but don't wait to find yourself in my position, 41 y/o and just starting my college education.

Good luck.

I have graduated from a 4 yr institution and law school and I can truly say now looking back on my debt...I would have gotten to the same place I am in now if I had gone to a 2yr institution first and then then spent the last two years at a 4 year institution. I would have saved so much money and would have gotten in to law school anyway! Just be sure to do well in the 2yr institution so that you can get into a good 4yr institution for the last 2yrs of your diploma. Good Luck! But either way be sure to get that undergrad degree in the end.

It incredibly relies upon on what you p.c. to do and what your different suggestions are. in case you p.c. to comprehend is it well worth it to flow to bop college whilst in comparison with doing no practise-- I definitely think of that's well worth it. there are quite some possibilities with Dance businesses around the united states. or perchance you p.c. to start your individual sooner or later? My sister-in-regulation graduated with a 4 3 hundred and sixty 5 days degree in dance. She danced professionally for some years. Then she went back to college to grow to be a nurse-- which in trouble-free terms took a sprint greater beneficial than 3 hundred and sixty 5 days provided that she already had a 4 3 hundred and sixty 5 days degree.

Only if you take it seriously and make sure you work hard to learn what you need to. If you're not ready to get serious and hit the books, it is really not worth your (or your parents' in some cases) money. Don't go to college to please anyone but YOU! It has to be something you want for yourself in order for it to be a good move. Good Luck to you!

depeds on whether you want a salaried position and be able to capitalize on your education or not.
If you're rather the freelance entrepreneur type, college may not be for you.
Keep in mind that knowledge and education are essential to making a good living - whether you get the education in knowledge or in life through experience.
Be prepared to work hard to make yourself sellable without a college education!

Yeah, you will end up making more in your lifetime than non-college people, and you will have the wonderful experience of higher education, on average.
