Understanding the Value of a 4-Year Degree
The research is overwhelming: Obtaining a bachelor’s degree is important for professional advancement. When weighing the value of a high school diploma or some college credit, against a four-year degree, research is clear that an undergraduate degree outperforms in every area of consideration.
Let’s talk money. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics finds that on average, “workers who hold at least a bachelor’s degree earned more than the $932 median weekly earnings for all workers in 2018.” These earnings can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars more on average, by retirement, than a high school graduate who doesn’t go on to pursue a bachelor’s.
For business professionals specifically, earning a bachelor’s degree that teaches you the skills needed to lead a team, manage finances, and make data-driven decisions will open up a variety of career options not available to those who do not hold a four-year degree. Armed with the tools and knowledge needed to thrive in an upper management or leadership role, you’ll have the opportunity to make thousands more per year because you won’t be limited to entry-level roles.
