 A college education is an ideal way to obtain respectable credentials that will hold up in any workplace against those of university students. It takes less time, less money and produces results that include hands-on experience and theoretical knowledge. Whether you are working in the world of business, health, automotives, or anywhere else, it is always advantageous to have college courses under your belt. In fact, many statistics indicate that college-educated graduates make more money than those with a high school diploma. According to the Census Bureau, individuals who have a bachelor's degree earn around $2.1-million throughout their working adult life, while high school graduates earn an average of $1.2-million. Taking a closer look at weekly earnings brings the life-span numbers into more perspective. In winter 2004-05, the US Department of Labor reported that in 2003, workers who had a bachelor's degree had a median weekly earnings of $900, compared with $554 a week for high school graduates. That's a 62 per cent jump in median earnings.
