How important is higher education?

Jimmie Doerfler: Yes higher education is very important to go on in life and find the perfect job that suits you but you must take into account to study q subject that you love and would enjoy working in a job because of it! Otherwise its not gonna help you at all, besides its really hard to find a good job for high schoolers.And remember a good grades equals a good job

Cassondra Vanholland: higher education is very important Shows presidents, provosts, and other high-level officers how to apply business strategies while remaining committed to the mission of higher education.

Becky Mosena: a college education is a minimum in today's economy. without it and only a HS diploma, you may get jobs that pay $30k-$40k if you are lucky or start your own company or a trade job (plumber, electrician). without a HS education, you will only get McJobs paying $10-$15 an hr (if you are lucky)

Providencia Serpe: The answer is still straightforward when you take that int! o account. On average, the additional amount you earn as a result of your degree will more than cover the costs. Unless you enjoy manual labor or cooking fast food, there aren't many career options for someone without at least some post-secondary education whether it be trade school or college. I'm an engineer, so I definitely needed higher education, and yes, I enjoy it.Almost everyone in my family has at least an associate's degree and all of my friends have at least a bachelor's. People who are successful without higher education are either exceptional cases or have a low personal standard for "success."If you're a good people person and very convincing, the best job is probably commissioned sales. But even for these jobs, you're going to be competing with people with degrees, so unless you have some connections, you're likely going to have to start with more menial jobs just to get some work experience to put on your application....Show more
