  • Do I really need more than a high school diploma to get ahead in today's workspace?

    Simply put: Yes. New studies show that the value of continuing your education past a high school diploma truly pays off in both job security and in higher salaries. While effects vary by occupational field, the average Associate or Bachelor’s degree holder earns about $130 or $410 more per week, respectively, than a person who holds only a high school diploma.
