Did you know that only about 1 out of every 4 adults in the U.S. has a college degree of any kind? Did you also know that with a bachelor's degree, you are likely to earn one million dollars more in your lifetime compared to someone with only a high school education?
In 1999, average annual earnings were $18,900 for high school dropouts, $25,900 for high school graduates, $45,400 for college graduates and $99,300 for the holders of professional degrees such as doctors, dentists and lawyers. (Source: www.csun.edu)
Obtaining a four-year post secondary (i.e. university) education is likely to be one of the most rewarding things you could do for yourself or for society. The rewards are not simply monetary: a well rounded education builds character, critical and analytical thought, persistence, logic and reasoning abilities, wisdom, understanding, and an openness to new ideas and opinions. So don't make excuses -- financial aid in the form of scholarships, grants and low-interest government subsidized loans is readily available -- the hardest part is making the first move.
We've gathered some resources that we hope you'll find of value to help you along with your educational goals.
