Returning to school to improve your chances in the job market
January 24, 2012
If you didn't have time to attend college upon graduating high school years ago, chances are, you're finding it difficult to embark on the career path of your dreams. Many employers require individuals to have some form of college education in order to hold a position with their companies, meaning it's important to try to work toward a degree.
Many people are busy with their families and current jobs, which can make it difficult to enroll in a postsecondary institution. However, there are now numerous options available to individuals who want to earn a higher education over time.
If you can't fathom the idea of attending school for a full four years, think about obtaining an associate degree until you have the time. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in 2010, associate degree holders brought home an average of $767 weekly.
You might want to enroll in an accredited online college to work toward a degree on your spare time, or attend evening classes at a local community college. In any case, scholarships and college grants can be a feasible way to fund your postsecondary education.
