Education Pays

Education does pay! A recent survey from the U.S. Census Bureau reports that difference in lifetime earnings between a high school diploma and bachelor’s degree is about one million dollars. Add on a master’s degree and you can expect to earn an additional $500,000. Those with professional degrees earn much more – about 4.4 million during their working life. It’s never too late to go back to school. Many adults have revamped their careers mid-stream and earned additional or new degrees.
