Every parent wants to invest money on his child’s education so that the person can earn a decent salary for a comfortable livelihood. It is true that some candidates struggle to get a job in a stagnant economy. There are many who are apprehensive about paying back loans that they have to take to complete their education. These are real problems faced by people. It makes everyone doubt about whether the degree will pay off or not.

If a student doesn’t go to college, he will be denied access to decent jobs. The jobs that will be available will pay less and will be less stable. No one wants to remain stuck at a low-level job like that of a waiter or retail sales clerk.

 "This is what I'll call the 'Job vs. Career' trajectory. Individuals without a degree move slowly towards their highest earning potential, with somewhat stagnant early years," said Shanker Mishra, the Ladders Vice President of Data Science And Analytics. "Individuals with a college degree may start in the same compensation range, but grow exponentially over the course of their careers.”

If one attends a college with a good reputation, students can establish personal connections with people in class and can make a huge social network.

A Little Of Everything Counts

Another truth is that not only will your college degree be taken into account, but your hard work and dedication will also be judged. So take a look at the various fields of employment and the salaries that people are estimated to be getting.
