Despite the expense, heading to college is a wise investment
December 29, 2011
Mothers who are on the fence about committing the next four years of their lives to an undergraduate degree may mention money as a reason to avoid it. According to the Los Angeles Times, while college is a major expense, it is still one of the surefire ways to career advancement.
The numbers to support the argument to head to college are staggering. A person with their bachelor's degree will make an average of $38,950 per year as opposed to a high school graduate who would earn $21,500. Additionally, income is expected to increase annually by 2.2 percent for college grads, while GED holders can only expect about 1.9 percent increases each year.
This can help out mothers drastically who want to make a better life for their families, and it can help a person find their true calling in the process.
Luckily, there are countless college scholarship and grants available for any student willing to take the plunge. These funding sources can dramatically decrease the cost of tuition to limit the amount of debt a student has when leaving school.
